The UK government has launched a consultation to establish a development corporation for Greater Cambridge, aiming to accelerate growth, create homes, and improve infrastructure. The proposed body would focus on land assembly, regeneration, and attracting investment to boost jobs in construction, bioscience, education, and hospitality. The consultation, open for eight weeks, seeks input on the corporation’s scope, planning powers, and engagement with local stakeholders. Ministers emphasized the initiative’s potential to unlock affordable housing, transport links, and business expansion, building on £400 million in existing funding for the area. The plan builds on the Cambridge Growth Company’s efforts to remove growth barriers and aligns with government goals for the Oxford–Cambridge corridor. Details of the consultation and its specific questions are available for public review.
