  • Proposed New Science Park Talk

    Histon and Impington Village Society is holding a talk on Tuesday 29th November from 7.30pm at Histon Methodist Church.

    The proposed Trinity College Science Park is one of the most significant planning developments in Histon and Impington for decades. The site is next to the Impington Village College, bounded by the Busway. Trinity College, which owns the Science Park, has taken an option on 400 acres of greenbelt farmland owned by the Chivers Farms Ltd and has purchased a plot of land that would provide vehicle access onto Butt Lane.

    The session will involve a full presentation and plenty of time for a Q and A. We welcome our members and residents to come along to find out more directly from the team behind it.
