Urban Design

The Joint Urban Design Team provides design advice for developments in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.

The team consists of staff from the city council and South Cambridgeshire District Council.

The service ensures that a co-ordinated approach is taken to the design of urban extensions around Cambridge, many of which fall into the two administrative boundaries.

The Joint Urban Design Team office is within South Cambridgeshire Hall, Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne CB23 6EA.

A second office is located at Hobson House, 44 St. Andrew's Street, Cambridge CB2 3AS.
