In 2008 we adopted the Cambridge East Area Action Plan. This plan identifies the site for a sustainable new urban area of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 dwellings, the delivery of which is based on the relocation of Cambridge airport.  The area can be divided into three main development sites - Wing/Marleigh, Land north of Cherry Hinton and Marshalls ground run enclosure.
