Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 55618
Received: 29/09/2020
Respondent: Historic England
Representation Summary:
Distinctive design for North East Cambridge
We welcome the reference in the first paragraph to Cambridge’s heritage ad townscape qualities and the unique characteristics of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. Criterion e could be elaborated to include reference to local building materials and vernacular. For example, Cambridge brick is an obvious response to the historic building materials in the area and can be used to enable new development to both respond to, and be better absorbed into, the local environment.
Suggested Change:
Elaborate criterion e to include reference to local building materials and vernacular
