Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29699

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: Brookgate

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

Brookgate object to the current proposed surface car parking layout. The consented layout doesn't make best use of the site. It would be difficult to extend or to construct a multi-storey structure on the footprint given the site's shape and proximity to the Bramblefields reserve.
Better location for a surface car park is adjacent to the existing main railway line, north ofnew station building. A conventional rectangular footprint could be used, being more efficient in terms of the number of spaces and providing flexibility to convert to a multi-storey car park if sufficient future demand arises.
