Option 6.4 is the best here as it creates a lot of available land, however there is a missed opportunity here for more residential. Once CB1 is finished, we will have a considerable supply of office accommodation, and the levels outlined in 6.4 are probably not sustainable. Much better, in my opinion, to have more residential, especially if London commuters use this area and therefore do not impact on traffic congestion. However, if enough bus routes go through Cambridge North, if it is to be developed to this extent, people should not require their cars too much at all. All this could be done when the development is completed as per my first upload. There is no hurry for this and it would depend on the Wadloes Road link, as well as the link to Fen Ditton to be completed. Buses would be key to this level of development. Perhaps a new bus could start at the Airport, taking in the Wing development, Wadloes Road, the whole of Fen Meadows (via the tunnel), the new secondary school, the new station, the new development on Cowley Road, Science Park, Orchard Park via Kings Hedges Road, Histon Road, The Backs, Silver Street, Downing Street through to Hills Road, Cherry Hinton Road, Perne Road, Barnwell Road and back, going clockwise and anticlockwise.
The second diagram illustrates how better the land could be used, with indicative building heights and new parks/nature reserve, plus new sustainable residential at Science Park.
