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.

Facilities
The whole Phase 1 masterplan has been designed to be pedestrian and cycle friendly and reduce dominance of the motor car.
The whole development has been considered in the framework of improving opportunities for travel without relying on car journeys

Trumpington Meadows Park & Ride will be situated in the heart of the scheme
The nearest bus stops are located in the Trumpington Park and Ride facility on the southern boundary of Phase 1 and on the Hauxton Road. The buses serving these bus stops give access to all users and provide frequent services to Cambridge city centre.
The nearest bus stops are located in the Trumpington Park and Ride facility on the southern boundary of Phase 1 and on the Haunxton Road,The buses serving these stops give access to all users and provide frequent services to Cambridge city centre.
Attractive, safe and direct pedestrian routes have been designed either adjacent to roads, through parking courts or through 'shared spaces'.

Bus routes
The pedestrian and cycle routes through the development also make easy connections with Trumpinigton Village, Grantchester and central Cambridge by providing cycle and pedestrian links and routes throughout the site.
This layout illustrates where the affordable housing will be located
There is a split across the site of 40% affordable accommodation and 60% marketable accommodation. The development is tenure blind between affordable and market homes.
Gateway Quarter
The Phase 1 proposal is largely within the Village Quarter, but extends a little way south into the Urban Quarter either side of the Robert Sayle building. The proposals address a consistent use of materials and details to ease the transitiion of scale between the two Quarters.

The houses in Trumpington and Granchester are recognisable for the simplicity of their deatiling and the use of local materials in their con
In keeping with Trumpington village a range of house types from two bedroom terraces to generous five bedroom detached house are proposed.

Until recently the Phase 1 land was occupied by the Monsanto seed development headquarters (previously the Plant Breeding Institute). The buildings and greenhouses that made up this impressive facility have recently been demolished and now nothing remains of this development except for two semi mature trees that have been incorporated into the public open spaces of out proposals.

This layout explains the distribution of parking spaces throughout the scheme
Across the site there is an average provision of 1.5 spaces per home. These are located on plot within carports, in garages, on parking spaces at the back of the property or within parking courts contained in the centre of an development block.

Cycle storage requirements have been met by providing storage space wither within a garage or within a cycle storage shed illustrated here
Encouraging residents to cycle is a key objective of the Trumpington Meadows development. Increasing cycle useage is a sustainable alternative to journeys by car and has a strong historical connection with Cambridge city.
