I object to the proposal to build up to 4 commercial storeys*(16m)because the guidance on tall buildings recognises that outside the city centre almost all of the buildings are mainly two storey and sometimes three storeys high.
I support the policy which agrees to,
" maintain the character and quality of the Cambridge skyline;
* ensure that tall buildings, as defined in this guidance, which break the
established skyline are well considered and appropriate to their context;
* support only new buildings which are appropriate to their context and
contribute positively to both near and distant views; and that any tall buildings will need to,
"demonstrate the impacts of the proposal on neighbouring properties and open
space and be designed to minimise any potential negative impacts. Key matters
to address will include overshadowing, loss of daylight/ sunlight, overlooking wind, and resulting heat islands or glare. The exact methodology of assessment
will be agreed as part of the pre-application process and be proportionate and
reasonable, driven by the scheme's relative scale and its location.
