Our Growth Agenda

Cambridgeshire Horizons is the not-for-profit company responsible for coordinating and implementing plans to create sustainable new communities across the county.

The Government has prioritised Cambridgeshire as one of the key areas in need of additional investment to support growth. The County is receiving funding to provide quality new homes and the necessary supporting services and facilities, which will assist the continued economic growth of the area to benefit both the existing and new communities.

Within Cambridgeshire a number of major development sites have been identified as areas for these new homes and services. The sites are: Northstowe, Cambridge Southern Fringe, Cambridge North West, Cambridge East, and the Market Towns, including St Neots, Ely, and Huntingdon.

The growth agenda is about more than just building new houses. Cambridgeshire is striving to create environmentally sustainable developments with space for residents to play and relax, enhanced access to the countryside, integrated communities with good schools and healthcare provision, new and improved arts, leisure, and community facilities, and improved transport and utilities infrastructure. All of which needs to be completed to the highest standards to ensure continued economic prosperity and quality of life for both new and existing residents.
