KMC Transport Planning

KMC Transport Planning is delighted that Cambridge Investment Partnership has successfully secured planning permission to redevelop the Murketts site on Histon Road, Cambridge! This sustainable development will transform the former car dealership and workshop area into 70 new homes, including 28 council homes and 42 market-sale properties. 🌱🏠 Throughout the planning process, CIP and the project team has engaged extensively with residents and stakeholders, making significant design changes to address public concerns. The revised plans enhance community connectivity while ensuring safety and accessibility, particularly with improved pedestrian routes to Histon Road Recreation Ground. 🌳🚶♀️ The development will feature a mix of terraced homes, semi-detached homes, and apartments, all designed with sustainability in mind—focusing on reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy bills, and promoting sustainable travel. 🌍🚴♂️ We are proud to be part of the great team behind this project.

Yesterday, at the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service JDCC, Trinity College Cambridge secured a unanimous resolution to grant planning permission for a new R&D building at 440 Cambridge Science Park. 🔬 We were proud to be part of the team that contributed to this success. Through an extensive pre-application process, we helped refine the design, paving the way for a positive outcome. Our involvement also included developing a forward-thinking transport strategy, featuring an innovative approach to car parking and measures to promote active travel - all aligned with the Trip Budget approach for this area of Cambridge. We are delighted for our clients and everyone involved!

Setting appropriate speed limits is key to improving road safety and street health. Research shows that reducing the average speed on urban roads can decrease collision frequency. Lower speed limits also help regulate traffic flow and may reduce noise and air pollution from brake and tyre wear. Cambridgeshire County Council is exploring expanding 20mph zones in Cambridge. They are seeking input from residents and stakeholders on this proposal. The consultation is open until 25th September 2024.
