Two connected villages, one sustainable community
The Lattenburys will be two connected villages forming one sustainable community, where everyday needs can be met locally and walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport are convenient, attractive choices.
A connected movement network will link the villages with Godmanchester, Huntingdon, St Ives and employment at other key local plan allocations. Sustainable travel provision will develop alongside new homes, establishing positive travel habits from the earliest occupations.
Guiding Principles
Live locally
Locate everyday services, schools, employment and recreation within accessible neighbourhoods, supported by homeworking and high-quality digital connectivity.
Prioritise sustainable movement
Design streets and routes around walking, wheeling and cycling first, followed by public transport, while maintaining appropriate access for servicing, emergency vehicles and private cars.
Connect people and places
Provide safe, direct and attractive links within and between the villages and to surrounding communities, employment and transport networks.
Design for everyone
Create accessible routes, crossings, stops and interchange facilities that accommodate different ages, abilities and mobility needs.
Deliver progressively
Phase infrastructure and services with development, monitor travel behaviour and adapt provision to support increasing sustainable travel.
A Sustainable Spine Connecting Both Villages
An internal Sustainable Transport Corridor will connect homes, local centres, schools and employment. Dedicated walking and cycling infrastructure and priority for buses will make sustainable journeys direct and convenient. Restrictions on private cars through its central section will prevent the corridor becoming a through-route between the A1198 and A1307, while retaining necessary emergency access.

A comprehensive internal network will connect neighbourhoods, green spaces and key destinations. Future ambitions include the possibility for external improvements including approximately a 1.5km route alongside the A1198 towards Godmanchester, a 2.5km route along the A1307 towards Galley Hill, and a longer term 5km route connection towards Huntingdon and Pathfinder Link Road.
New Junctions
A consolidated roundabout access / egress from the A1198, to the site with the ability to remove the existing active vehicular access / egresses to Woodgreen Pets Charity, as a result.
A1307 – signalised junction delivering vehicular access, along with the active modes connectivity through the junction north-south and east-west as well as the ability to deliver bus priority through the junction.
Mobility Hubs and Shared Travel
Strategic and neighbourhood mobility hubs will bring together bus stops, secure cycle parking, cycle hire, travel information, car clubs and parcel collection. Located close to local centres and the sustainable corridor, they will simplify interchange and support access without owning a car. The mobility hubs will support a wider future-ready expansion of existing and new bus routes and services. Streets and services that reinforce sustainable choices, walkable neighbourhoods, managed parking, electric vehicle charging, co-working opportunities and consolidated deliveries will complement the movement network.
