Yes. The Ely to Cambridge Transport Study recommended that in order to redevelop and intensify the use of this important area of brownfield land, a more varied development mix would be needed which included residential as well as employment land uses as well as other ancillary land uses such as education, retail and leisure. We are pleased to be assisting colleagues at both SCDC and the City Council to help come to a clearer understanding of what this development might look like. This work hasn't yet concluded but it is clear that the mix will need to ensure that as many trips as possible are catered for within the sites themselves, that the number of jobs and homes will need to be broadly balanced and be of such a nature that the trips are smoothed across the day rather than resulting in a tidal movement of people in and out the site during peak hours.
