Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD

Representation ID: 31039

Received: 21/07/2016

Respondent: Cambridge Association of Architects

Representation Summary:

This is the place to highlight the council's promotion of a modal shift. Currently the scheme allows car park, but due to location, single entrance, narrow street pattern and mix of pedestrian and cycle movement, the car park allows prioritisation of cars.
A maximum standard should be set for this site as early as possible (rather than rely on policies) to avoid creeping vehicular movement to appease developers and house prices, on the account of alternative means of transport.
