Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 54519

Camcycle agrees with the proposal to limit the size of retail units so that they do not become a ‘destination’ for people driving from outside the area or generate the need for a car park. This will be essential to meeting the goal of 75% of trips within the site being made by sustainable transport. However, we believe there will probably be a need for further smaller areas of retail outside the main centres to minimise car journeys. Facilities to enable zero carbon deliveries (e.g. by cargo bike) also need to be taken into consideration.
