Summary

  • Lolworth Developments has submitted an outline planning application for Cambridge 25, an employment park at A14 Junction 25 aimed at housing new and expanding businesses in Greater Cambridge.
  • Around 2,900 jobs are projected across logistics, advanced manufacturing and mid-tech, with the scheme also including a community hub, café and publicly accessible site layout.
  • Nearly half the site would be green infrastructure, including a new nature park, alongside a pledged biodiversity net gain above 20%, BREEAM Excellent buildings and a net-zero carbon target.
  • Transport plans include two new access points onto the A1307 and upgraded A14 connections; the application also includes parameter plans, a design code, environmental impact assessment and transport assessment.
  • South Cambridgeshire District Council will determine the application after review by planning officers, with initial works targeted for autumn 2027 and main construction in 2028 if approved.
