The Cambridge Airport Study
This study looked at the potential for re-location of the airport to allow new housing and other development for Cambridge.
Cambridge Airport, the home of Marshall Aerospace, is a large site on the eastern edge of Cambridge, and a location for major growth proposed in the Cambridge East Area Action Plan.
In 2002 the study was carried out to assess the potential for moving and possible alternative locations.
You can see the study working papers on the current operation of the airport (Stage 1) and evaluation of alternative options for re-location (Stage 2) by using the links on this page.
The files with the pictures/maps are large and may take some time to download. For convenience, versions without the graphics are also available.
The Marshall Company is continuing to work for an acceptable solution, to enable the start of a new, sustainable, extension to the City by 2016.
