North Cambridge Framework for Change (map and previous engagement)

This engagement was open for comments from Wednesday 7 May to Wednesday 18 June 2025.

Cambridge City Council wants to work with the local community to shape a Framework for Change for North Cambridge.

This framework builds on previous work, including the recently adopted North Cambridge neighbourhoods Design Code, which established principles for the area based on the community’s priorities.

The framework will guide improvements to homes, streets, green spaces, and local business and community facilities in Arbury, King’s Hedges and Chesterton. Hearing from local people will be vital.

This interactive map is part of a wider programme of engagement including workshops, pop-ups, school sessions, and interviews. It gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns to help shape the future of these neighbourhoods.

The framework will consider themes including:

• older council housing estates
• parks and green spaces
• Arbury Court and the surrounding community facilities
• streets and travel
