North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 33040

Received: 25/03/2019

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council

Representation Summary:

The County Council is working closely with SCDC and the City Council to provide further transport evidence to support the development of the AAP. One of its key elements is the development of a highway trip budget which will help to understand what transport impact a range of development mixes and levels in the area might have on the surrounding highway network. This work hasn't yet concluded therefore it is considered premature to give too much commentary on development types and mixes at this time.

The Transport Strategy and Funding team at the County Council is working closely with SCDC and the City Council to provide further transport evidence to support the development of the AAP. This work is taking forward the recommendations from the Ely to Cambridge Transport Study (ECTS) and one of its key elements is the development of a highway trip budget which will help to understand what transport impact a range of development mixes and levels in the area might have on the surrounding highway network. It is following the principles set out in the ECTS that there needs to be a suitable mix of residential, employment and ancillary uses which minimises the amount of external highway trip generation through a high level of internalisation. This work hasn't yet concluded therefore it is considered premature to give too much commentary on development types and mixes at this time.
