Masterplan competition entry for a former RAF airfield and barracks four miles north of Cambridge. Design includes a new community with a potential 6,500 homes and supporting civic, educational, commercial and recreational facilities. Undertaken in collaboration with Fletcher Priest Architects

“A masterplan to grow a town on the site of a former RAF airfield and barracks, to support a population growing to more than 25,000.”

Fletcher Priest Architects

The plan seeks to maintain close connections to the existing Cambridgeshire village of Waterbeach rather than creating a freestanding new town on this former airfield site. It will eventually provide up to 6,500 new homes and support employment, civic, education and recreational amenity, responding to the needs of the globally-significant knowledge economy of the region.
