Garden Square, Aura, Great Kneighton
CAMBRIDGE - Completed 2022
The next residential phase at Great Kneighton comprises the development of Parcels 8A and 8B providing approximately 251 new apartments and houses of which 40% will be affordable. All of the new homes in Parcel 8A look out onto Garden Square, a communal space with a children’s play area planted with a mix of shrubs and herbaceous plants designed to provide seasonal interest throughout the year. Several English Oak trees are planted as a legacy tree species, maturing into big specimens. The lawns are being overseeded with species rich mixture, and all planting is 80% native and wildlife beneficial.
Parcel 8B is under construction and once finished in mid 2022 will complete Hobsons Square urban centre, connecting Water Meadow, a semi-dry SUDs basin to the existing network of historical ditches leading to Hobson’s Brook, Hobsons Walk with its avenue of trees and Hobson’s Park located to the east of Great Kneighton.
