Savills Planning Team in Cambridge are instructed on behalf of St John's College, Cambridge to submit responses to the Issues and Options Report on the CNFE having regard to the College's landholdings and land interests at St John's Innovation Park west of Cowley Road and east of Milton Road.

Having regard to the College's objections to Options 1 - 4, we consider that other options should be identified. The College land at the Innovation Park should consistently be recognised for the development potential that exists in terms of increasing employment floorspace consistent with the Plan's objectives to maximise employment opportunities, and secondly, to relocate the household waste recycling centre and inert recycling facility to a location either on the southern periphery of the Anglian Water landholding or at least to a location further away from the existing employment area at the Innovation Park.

The current options do not improve the image that the Innovation Park is seeking to protect and enhance and initially is not being assisted by a major new recycling facility in close proximity to the site.
