It has been an exciting summer of engagement for the Hartree project team!
Hartree is at the heart of the proposed new district of North East Cambridge. Over a 20-year period, this development aims to deliver approximately 5,600 homes, alongside a mix of shops, workplaces, green spaces, educational facilities, and community facilities, across 48 hectares of brownfield land. TOWN alongside LandsecU+I are joint masterdevelopers for this project.
Over the last few months, the Hartree project team have met and engaged with lots of people and received feedback on the emerging proposals.
The key priority of this phase of engagement was to share the updated masterplan and to gather feedback from the community. During this engagement phase, the team also sought feedback on the sustainability strategy, transport strategy, street life, landscaping and heights.
“I really like the drive to create a genuine neighbourhood for all ages. The concept of mobility hubs for deliveries is fantastic!”
The current masterplan envisions three mixed-use neighbourhoods, interconnected by green streets designed for walking and cycling. The 12-acre ‘Playline’ comprises a series of interconnected green spaces for recreation, exercise, food growing, and biodiversity.
The team brought a pop-up exhibition to free community events in Cambridge over the Summer, joining the Strawberry Fair, Arbury Carnival, Orchard Park’s Fiesta and Cambridge City Council’s Music in the Parks events on Jesus Green and at the Meadows in Arbury and visited the Science Park. 18,000 homes in North Cambridge received details of the emerging proposals along with an invitation to visit us at the final exhibitions of the Summer in Milton and Orchard Park or to join a webinar. Over the course of the summer the team received a significant amount of valuable feedback which is being fed into the next phase of design.
“The focus on sustainability is great, I feel so reassured by this”
