North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 33049

Received: 25/03/2019

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council

Representation Summary:

Evidence suggests that parking spaces are currently underutilised on the Science Park therefore there is no incentive for people not to drive to and from the site at the moment. Consideration will need to be given as to how parking is controlled on streets adjacent to the AAP area to ensure that people do not simply park off site and walk in.

Yes. Evidence shows that car-driver mode share at Cambridge Science Park is currently around 49%. At Cambridge Biomedical Campus, where there are far fewer parking spaces per square metre of floorspace, the comparable mode share is 31%. The new CB1 development near Cambridge Station pushes this even further and is aiming to achieve a car driver mode share of 11%. Furthermore, evidence also suggests that parking spaces are currently underutilised on the site therefore there is no incentive for people not to drive to and from the site at the moment. Consideration will need to be given as to how parking is controlled on streets adjacent to the AAP area to ensure that people do not simply park off site and walk in.
