Eddington is a major new neighbourhood in North West Cambridge, led by the University of Cambridge. It forms part of the wider growth of the city and aims to deliver high-quality housing, academic space, and community facilities.
The site received Outline Planning Permission in February 2013 (Ref: S/1886/11)
The outline permission includes up to 3,000 homes, student accommodation, academic space, shops, community facilities, and public open spaces.
In Eddington you will find:
- homes for university and non-university residents
- a primary school
- a community centre and local shops
- green spaces, play areas, and cycle routes
- sustainable design features such as rainwater recycling and a district heating network
Development is progressing in phases, with several parcels now approved through Reserved Matters applications.
