The proposed development of the CNFE is generally supported and the opportunity to comment is welcomed. A common thread of U&C's comments is that the CNFE AAP should make clear references to the opportunities for connecting CNFE with Waterbeach New Town, from the vision through to objectives principles and specific policies. The next stage of the AAP process should investigate the possibilities to maximising the sustainable transport links. Waterbeach New Town will comprise a new community of over 20,000 people 5 km to the north of CNFE and it would be a missed opportunity not to maximise the connections between the proposed New Town and CNFE. It is also important that the emerging AAP emphasizes the wide strategic opportunities of the greater Cambridge area, in particular the economic and physical relationships between north Cambridge and the A10 corridor.
