Urban Wood
Pleached deciduous trees to cover car-parking facilities: ensuring shade in summer and light in winter
Edible Landscape: Increased Biodiversity simultaneously
providing local food and environmental education
Blossom, provision of
nectar, UK BAP Habitat Ground flora consisting of
UK native species
Butterflies, Bees and other
insects benefiting from this
nectar provision
Children learning and
enjoying Harvesting of Fruit Mistletoe- another UK
threatened Species
Tree Pit Design
Under-planting of street
trees to include winter
bulbs, spring and summer
flowers, ensuring year

Acknowledged gaps
1. Engagement scope can be expanded
2. Data gaps regarding the wider transport patterns in
Cambridge
3. Socio economic and demographics of the area are
not known in detail
4. We have not worked through a financial viability
study

In summary: Why this option is preferred
Summary
The vision is about connections
Summary
The vision is about connections, not barriers
We have responded by: decreasing the primary road network passing through
Mitchams corner
Designing for connections to local amenities and spaces for relaxing in nature
Designing defined street spaces for cyclists and pedestrians
The key benefits of this are: Its is incremental
It provides for options and flexibility
It can be managed via a phased approach
It is realistic
