The supermarket is anticipated to open in 2028
A new supermarket is set to open at a Cambridge development. Waitrose has announced its plans to open in Springstead Village in Cherry Hinton. The shop is anticipated to open in late 2028.
Jamie Smith, project delivery director for the Bellway Latimer joint venture said: “It is testament to the unique future-focused vision offered at Springstead Village that Waitrose wants to be part of this sustainable new neighbourhood in Cambridge.
“The location of the new store at the heart of the development will make it easy for residents to do their shopping on foot or by bicycle, promoting greener ways of getting about and helping to make this a place where pedestrians and cyclists are prioritised.”
Springstead Village is a new community of around 1,200 homes on a 138 acre site that used to belong to Cambridge Airport. As well as a Waitrose store, the local centre is also planned to have two other retail units. These are yet to be announced.
There will also be a community hub and café set around a new tree-lined market square. Jamie added: “We are proud of the collaborative approach we have taken to the design process at Springstead Village which has helped shape the local centre here.
“Work is progressing well across the development, with parkland, cycleways, a community centre and nature-inspired public art already in place, and around 200 private and affordable homes now occupied.
“The opening of the local centre at Springstead Village will be a significant moment for residents here, providing an important focal point which will further help bring the new community together.”
