Comberton is an historic rural village in the green belt in South Cambridgeshire, UK
– some 4 miles to the south west of Cambridge with over 943 dwellings and population exceeding 2,360 (~2300 on 2021 census).
An attractive blend of old and new, it is well served by local education, sports and community facilities with reasonable transport links.
More new homes in the parish of Toft are being build in the parish of Toft, to the west of the village framework opposite the village college – despite Comberton opposition. More sewage, more traffic, water, other utilities and facilities usage without any precept (S106 / CIL) benefit to the village (it went to Toft).
