Great Kneighton
Great Kneighton is the marketing name chosen by Countryside Properties for a major new housing development to the south of Cambridge on the Clay Farm and Glebe Farm sites in the Trumpington ward of the city. Together with the Trumpington Meadows development, south-west of Trumpington, it forms part of the "southern fringe" expansion of the city. The choice of the name "Great Kneighton" provoked some controversy.〔Cambridge News 11 Oct 2010 http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News/Great-mistake-over-new-name-developers-told.htm〕〔Daily Telegraph 10 Sept 2012 〕〔Trumpington Residents Association website http://www.trumpingtonresidentsassociation.org/ClayFarm.html〕 Historically, the name "Great Kneighton" had been used for a part of Trumpington parish somewhat further to the east, now within the grounds of Addenbrooke's Hospital,〔Victoria County History A History of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely vol. 8 〕 and, in addition, the proposed name was interpreted as aiming to give the new development a separate identity, whereas local aspirations were rather that the incoming community would be drawn into an enlarged Trumpington.
==Development Plans==
280 new homes are being built on the Glebe Farm site, south of Shelford Road.〔Cambridge City Council planning department 〕 These are mainly apartments. Forty per cent of the homes will be‘affordable homes’, a mixture of rental and intermediate housing, provided by Cambridgeshire Partnerships Limited. The first residents arrived in late 2012. North of Shelford Road, on the Clay Farm site, 2300 homes are to be built, along with a new secondary school, Trumpington Community College (to open in 2015/16),〔Cambridge News 30 January 2013 http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cambridge/School-set-to-be-asset-for-the-area-30012013.htm〕 allotments, and a 120-acre country park. A new neighbourhood centre for Trumpington as a whole will host library provision, community facilities, medical facilities, retail space, youth facilities, as well as office space for the police and social services. Again forty per cent of the homes will be ‘affordable homes’.〔Cambridge City Council planning department 〕
As well as providing the allotments, an adventure playground and sports facilities for the planned secondary school, the new park will provide the local community with extensive woodlands, a bird reserve, areas of wetland with balancing ponds and sustainable urban drainage systems, used for harvesting rainwater. All will contribute to the site's biodiversity. Planting has started on the southern half of the Country Park and will include over 13,000 new trees and bushes.
The development's environmentally-friendly credentials extend to encouraging greener modes of transport too, as well as protecting and enhancing the existing natural habitat. It offers easily accessible cycle stores, cycleways and footpaths. There are good public transport links provided by the Guided Busway which provides services to Addenbrooke's and, with a detour via the hospital, to the railway station, city centre and St. Ives.
