Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29718

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: Brookgate

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

The early stages of the delivery of any 'masterplanning' scheme generally has a higher burden of infrastructure costs. The cost of bringing sufficient utility infrastructure (gas, water, electricity, telecoms and drainage) to the service the site is likely to be significant in terms of on-site and off-site upgrading of pipelines, sub stations etc. The delivery of the AAP needs to minimise the upfront infrastructure costs (utilities, highways, remediation etc.) associated with the early phases of the build out of the CNFE. Failure to do this could affect the overall deliverability of the CNFE.
