CAMBOURNE HIGH STREET

Public Space - The new public square has been designed and located to provide views through into the new High Street. The public square will be at the heart of the development and create a positive enhancement of the public realm at the centre of Cambourne.

 

Shops - The shop units will be made up of a mix of different A 1 to AS uses (shops. Financial institutions. cates. etc.) and D1 (leisure) uses with a single. large shop of the centre of the new development. This larger shop will help to draw shoppers into the High Street and help make the small shops more commercially viable.

 

The delivery of smaller shops on the High Street will meet a local aspiration for a more diverse and vibrant High Street that will complement the existing within the town. The companies that will occupy the shop units cannot be controlled by the planning process and will be dependent on market forces.

 

Homes - The new homes on the High Street will help to create a vibrant and thriving town centre. The scale of the flats and townhouses is necessary to help fund the delivery of the new shops and the works to widen the High Street.
