Darwin Green taking shape
The ground was stripped in 2013 but capacity constraints meant other areas were prioritised for building. It was reckoned house prices would go up in Cambridge so it was OK to wait before building the houses. Logic that has indeed worked for the house builder, if not for those wanting a house in the intervening six years.
