Cambridge city centre currently is quite low and whilst several buildings have tall spires and towers I think most are only 3 - 4 stories. Having upto 13 stories in an area outside of the centre will be very confusing as generally it's now considered a city should get denser and generally taller towards the centre then reduce in density and height as you go further out, however the heights proposed here would go against that and potentially create a "new centre" and "old/historic centre".
