The proposed retention and intensification of Business uses in this location is supported. As with any City, Cambridge needs to be able to provide jobs for a wide mix of residents with a variety of skill sets. Currently this area, including the Science Park is able to accommodate a variety of business uses, including industrial, some of which complement one another. There are very few examples of this type of provision within the City and to lose such uses in this location would not only alter the character of the area significantly but would also alienate a large proportion of the local workforce.
There is, however, a need to ensure that the promoted uses are safeguarded and continue to offer a wide range of employment spaces to ensure that there is long-term flexibility in the future.
