Cambridgeshire train station plans include 1,000 cycle parking spaces
The new station is being built off Francis Crick Avenue in the Biomedical Campus
Plans for the new Cambridge South Station, including 1,000 cycle parking spaces, have been agreed by councillors.
Councillors have agreed the proposals for the design of the station and parking and permission for the station was granted in December last year.
Initial work on the station began in the spring of this year, which is due to be built off Francis Crick Avenue in the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
Plans for the station included ‘green and blue roofs’, with a biodiverse roof and plans for rain water to be collected and reused.
While overall permission has been granted for the new train station, a number of conditions need to be signed off by the local planning authority.
Councillors from Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council approved two applications to partially sign off conditions relating to the design of the station and the planned cycle parking, at a joint development control committee meeting earlier this week (August 16).
Both conditions were only partially signed off due to more information needed around what the signs for the station will look like, and how the secure cycle parking area will be managed.
