North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 33013

Received: 25/03/2019

Respondent: Orchard Street Investment Management

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

No, there is currently a shortage of industrial provision and associated uses locally and the current proposals would result in the loss of these current uses on the site. While residential development within the site boundary is supported, the scale and location of this provision should also allow for the continued employment uses to flourish and not just rely on the high tech industries which currently occupy the Science Park itself. Cambridge needs to be able to provide jobs for a wide mix of residents with a variety of skill sets.
