They want to add 32,550 homes to Cambridge. And they have no plans to build infrastructure.
The government wants to build 1,085 homes a year in Cambridge. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 32,550 homes - +56% on the 58,641 dwellings already in the area.
Cambridge is treated as a single built-up area in the settlement data, so we do not quote a per-settlement average here.
