Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31765

Received: 02/10/2017

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

We have concerns about heights of the proposed central buildings. They are shown at four storeys, which in this particular context would be alien. The only buildings near the site that are of that height are within the airport site itself. The site is mainly flat and the surrounding buildings are mainly residential of two storey. Therefore, a doubling of height would be a dramatic difference and should be reconsidered to minimise visual impact.
