Masterplan
The Trumpington Meadows masterplan contains all the ingredients for a sustainable contemporary village. There is a clear and legible hierarchy of streets, lanes and pathways that bring a sense of order and a natural feeling of familiarity. This is reinforced by the inclusion of a wide variety of open public spaces and parks for residents to enjoy.

Until recently the Phase 1 land was occupied by the Monsanto seed development headquarters (previously the Plant Breeding Institute).
