description Waterbeach Barracks Overview

Waterbeach Barracks is a former British military site at Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, occupying part of the former RAF Waterbeach airfield. The Ministry of Defence sold the site in 2023 after outline planning consent, and the barracks and airfield are being redeveloped as part of a new community with homes, schools, transport links, public spaces, and retained military heritage. It is therefore a redevelopment site rather than an active barracks in the usual sense.
