Councillors have approved proposals put forward by South Cambridgeshire Investment Partnership (SCIP), a joint venture between the district council and housebuilder The Hill Group, to deliver 256 low-carbon homes in Cambourne.

A total of 102 of the homes will be affordable, and 72 of these, have been designed using Passivhaus principles and will be affordable rent properties owned and managed by South Cambridgeshire district council. The remaining 30 homes will be available for purchase through shared ownership.
