Join the RTPI for a walking tour of Darwin Green, one of Cambridge's newest neighbourhoods, which will be kindly led by Harriet Wooler, Associate Planner at Bidwells.

This major, multi-phase residential development is located on former farmland just north of Huntingdon Road in Cambridge. During the site visit, you will gain insights into the lessons learned and discover how the latest phase of development successfully overcame challenges to secure planning consent through an appeal at inquiry. 

Participants are invited to meet at the corner of Lawrence Weaver Road and Huntingdon Road for a prompt start. After the tour, you will have the opportunity to network at a local bar.
