About

Longstanton ward is a rural area in South Cambridgeshire, characterised by its open farmland and two distinct settlements. The older village of Longstanton lies to the north, centred around its historic church and village green. To the south is the newer development of Northstowe, a large new town currently under construction, which will significantly alter the area's population and character in the coming years.

The landscape is predominantly flat agricultural land, with the guided busway running through the area, providing a direct transport link to Cambridge. The Oakington and Longstanton nature reserve, a former airfield, offers a large expanse of grassland and wetland habitats. This mix of ancient village, major new town development, and converted military land defines the ward's transitional nature.
