Executive summary from entrant:

 Waterbeach New Town East will deliver up to 4,500 new homes and a wide range of facilities, supported by sustainable transport infrastructure, forming a key part of the wider new settlement to the north of Waterbeach village.  Led by Boyer (Planning) and LDA Design (Master-planning and EIA), on behalf of the Waterbeach Development Company, outline planning permission has been secured for a pioneering housing development of significant scale.

It boldly reimagines residential streets, moving away from prioritising cars in spaces around homes. This vision draws on the enigmatic Fen Edge setting to establish a more sociable, sustainable way of living.
