Alconbury Weald Update
With the Outline Application for the future development of Alconbury Weald submitted, and the statutory
consultation and discussions underway, the focus of work at the former airfield has very much shifted to
early delivery of the Enterprise Campus and the approved enabling works. This includes starting work on a
new entrance for Heavy Container Vehicles on the old A1, and after that the reconfiguration of the North
Gate to make it more suitable for bicycles, pedestrians and cars and more in keeping with the innovation,
quality and landscaping which will set the scene for Alconbury Enterprise Campus.
Tim Leathes, Project Manager for Urban&Civic, said:
“After two years of planning and discussions, it is great to get started with transforming the look and feel of
the site into its new focus on skilled jobs and low carbon innovation. We are also starting as we mean to go
on, by using two local companies for the work.”
The main delivery of the early infrastructure is being carried out by Jackson Civil Engineering, based in
Huntingdon. The work has also been supported by Peterborough-based Surveyors, CCM.
The early work on the HCV access is due to be completed by Christmas, and work will then start on
creating a Boulevard setting and delivering the first new building in the Enterprise Zone - the Incubator –
which will provide flexible space for start-up and small businesses to carry out research and development,
production and provide space for networking, meetings and business advice.
Tim added:
“We continue to work with local partners and meet with the local parish councils while the main application
for the site is consulted on and deliberated. We have copies of the application available in our offices on
site and are happy to answer any questions people have or meet to discuss the plans. We know there will
be a few more months as the District Council and partners work through the 6700 page application, and
we’ll keep people updated on progress in the meantime.”
