Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 54450

Received: 05/10/2020

Respondent: Orchard Street Investment Management

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

With regard to criterion (f) of the policy, early engagement with key stakeholders is fundamental to the delivery of a successful scheme in a timely manner. It is acknowledged that there have been Stakeholder Design Workshops undertaken and the outcome of these is included in the Council’s evidence base. However, not all affected landowners were included, particularly those related to the industrial use element of the site. Additional information should be set out in the Area Action Plan as to how this should be undertaken, with a specific requirement for discussions to be undertaken with all affected landowners prior to any proposals being drawn up and brought forward.
