Question 3
It would be best to have the main centre as close to station as possible, the nearness of station, bus stops and facilities would increase footfall and mean disabled people could take advantage of the proximity of transport and facilities.

Ensure enough shops bars and restaurants are scattered throughout the development catering to diverse tastes. Too much residential only block is soulless (c.f. Trumpington). Houses look good, but the feel is a dormitory city, just wrong. Compare to a vibrant area like Mill Road, where there are plenty of quirky local businesses scattered all over side streets, not just Mill Road itself.

There are insufficient centres, and need a wider diversity of services, in particular, for mums and toddlers, children, youth services, and the elderly. These devices are vital as the current pandemic demonstrates.

They sounds like really positive additions to the area. I really like the proposed square being a multi functional space with stalls and place for people to spend time socialising. I think the Kings Cross St Pancreas development is a great example of a new space where the aesthetic and use of space was considered so that the new area fits with local buildings, is green and interesting and a welcoming place to spend time. The only thing I feel is missing in this is connectivity to the river. It is one of the main assets to the area and the plan doesn't really feel very connected to that or making the most of it or providing additional facilities for residents to enjoy it

I do not agree with the plan as stated in Q1

New centres never take into account the infrastructure to support such large developments. They assume people will walk and cycle everywhere and only have one car per household , this is proved to be wrong, the family car is essential to people's lives, so cars will always be there blocking up the surrounding roads .

Cowley Road centre appears to have highest density and highest buildings but served by fewer facilities, e.g. no sports centre, no swimming pool, no health centre. A secondary school is needed; children grow up. Little detail on what the “services” are at the Science Park centre; implies those for vehicular travel. Currently Milton Road jammed with cars. What guarantees are there that the developments will not become crime-ridden, sterile areas like that at Cambridge Station which was designed to be a similar wonderful mix?

The Cowley Road area will be high density for both residential, retail and commercial but there seems to be little provision for banking or post office. Banking facilities within easy walking distance will be essential for small trade units, shops and residents.

The proposed new number of residents is too high - presumably resulting from the high rise accommodation proposed. I don't therefore belief 4 new centres are necessary.

This area should not be made residential and thus the new centres are inappropriate.

The Cowley Road and District centres are well-located on key cycling and walking routes with good access from neighbouring communities. Having a centre around the station also makes sense. However, the Science Park centre needs to be positioned away from the busy road junction. There should also be more sports and leisure facilities within the area and a broader mix of land-use within the west of the site.

My answer is not entirely relevant because of my opposition to relocating the works. You should redevelop the available existing space, assuming a distance of 200 m from the boundary of a modernised odour-free works (as for Deephams works, Edmonton, link attached) rather than the 400 m which is currently stipulated. Note that the works should be on the northern boundary of the site, adjacent to the A14. Buildings other than homes (eg. shops and workspaces, even the proposed library) should be located closest to the works, homes further away to the south-west and west. Maybe two social and cultural hubs would be sufficient.

On the science park it is mainly office blocks, so there is very little mix in practice. Given the existing planning permission in place for the Brookgate development, this will be problematic in terms of achieving proper integration.

Station approach is a sensible idea but it would make sense to do more near Green Dragon bridge and on old Chesterton High St rather than building completely new areas that are unlikely to see much footfall. Also you need to address how existing problems with antisocial behaviour around Green Ed will be dealt with before providing more area for these to take place.

More green space needed, how about allotments?
