Representation Summary:

It is important that any new developments which do come forward do not compound existing parking problems. Land owners such as St John's College along with their tennants may well need a more stringent car parking management system to ensure proper controlled parking in the instance where new significant development is coming forward.

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.

It is entirely appropriate for the Plan to acknowledge that car parking in and around a new CNFE area will be an important part of any new development. This is particularly the case with instances where existing employment areas have established patterns of movement and car parking which seek to meet the needs and users of the existing employment areas. It is important that any new developments that do come forward do not compound any existing problems and to that end, it is acknowledged that landowners such as St John's College along with the tenants and their existing buildings will perhaps need a more stringent car parking management system in place to ensure that there is no abuse of the spaces within their control.
