A planning application for the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital has been approved.
The specialist cancer research hospital will be built on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
It will be the first of its kind for the East of England, and will bring together staff from Addenbrooke's Hospital, the University of Cambridge, and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre.
The hospital is set to help detect cancer at a much earlier stage, and develop personalised treatments to patients.
Pre-construction works on the hospital are set to begin this summer, with fill construction works due in 2025.
