About Trumpington Meadows

Outline planning permission for the Trumpington Meadows development on Cambridge's southern fringe was issued on 9 October 2009.

Trumpington Meadows development proposals included:
• demolishing the former Monsanto buildings in Cambridge
• building 1200 new homes and a primary school
• creating a 60 hectare country park between Trumpington and Hauxton Mill
• two new road accesses
• a primary school including a community facility
• a local centre
• new and improved footpaths and cycleways
• open space, recreation facilities and children's play space

The Trumpington Meadows site has 40% affordable housing, thanks to a deal between the local authorities, BPHA (representing Cambridgeshire Partnerships) and the developers/owners of the site.

The Trumpington Meadows development was the first of four proposed housing developments for the southern fringe of Cambridge to receive outline planning permission.
