Cambridge Gardens at a glance
The street beside its ward and the town. Each figure is from the section further down that says where it comes from.
Since November 2025: 1 planning application. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.
Planning and building here
Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.

Air quality nearby
The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Carlise Parade, about 120 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 16.5 µg/m³ in 2025.
Every year the report gives: 2021: 19.3, 2022: 19.1, 2023: 16.9, 2024: 16.0, 2025: 16.5 (µg/m³).
Each figure is for the kerbside spot where the tube or monitor sits, not for the whole street. The report compares each site “with the air quality objective of 40µg/m3”, an annual mean. From the borough council's 2026 Air Quality Annual Status Report (May 2026, read 12 October 2026). Every site
