Glebe Farm
In October 2008 Countryside Properties were granted outline planning permission, subject to finalising the S106 Agreement, for up to 300 mixed tenure residential dwellings and all associated landscaping, open spaces, infrastructure and access works. This development will form an important new ‘gateway’ into the city of Cambridge, with a landmark building on the junction of Hauxton Road and the new Addenbrooke’s Access Road.

Cambridge Biomedical Campus
Countryside Properties, Liberty Property Trust and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust secured outline planning permission for the extension of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, subject to Section 106 Agreement in November 2006, and discussions on the S106 are nearly finalised. The development will provide a further 2.3 million sq. ft. of new biomedical research and development space and further clinical development immediately to the West of the existing Addenbrooke's campus on the southern fringe of Cambridge. Part of the new development includes a boulevard which will link with the Addenbrooke’s Access Road to provide access to the whole campus.
Addenbrooke's Hospital shares the Cambridge Biomedical Campus site with other major teaching and research institutions such as Departments of the University of Cambridge, the Medical Research Council and other teaching and research organisations. This co-location has helped clinicians and researchers to develop innovative approaches to diagnosis and treatment for patients which are of national and international importance. The existing site has limited capacity and so the Applicants have developed a strategy over the last decade or so to allow for expansion, growth and continued opportunities for synergy between clinicians and researchers.

Cambridgeshire Guided Busway
The new community at Clay Farm will be well connected and integrated with the surrounding area. A main bus route and the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway will run through the development providing convenient public transport to Trumpington, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the City. Work has started in the vicinity with the bridge over the railway line to the east of the Clay Farm site now being in place.
The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway is being promoted by Cambridgeshire County Council. Construction is well underway and is expected to be open in Summer 2009
