There is a lot of information provided to digest without clear diagrams explaining the objectives of the proposals. The information is supposed to be for public, not stakeholder, consultation and should be made as accessible as possible. The four key strategy plans do not clearly indicate what the key drivers for development are, or what the benefits to the community of Cambridge would be e.g. a new public square, new affordable housing, new connections through the site and beyond. This information may be embedded in the text, but this should be illustrated graphically.

The online commenting procedure is daunting in its length and confusing in its content; especially for a public, consultation. Some of the questions are direct and to the point, some are very open ended - this leads to a lack of confidence about the appropriateness of comments generally. We can see the reasons for the format, i.e. prompting comments as much as possible and assisting with post consultation compilation of the comments, but are there must be better ways of structuring the online commenting forms.
