Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 55853

Received: 05/10/2020

Respondent: Veolia and Turnstone Estates

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Policy 25 seeks to ensure that environmental impacts are considered for development at North East
Cambridge, and identifies criteria for development. As set out above, the existing waste recycling
transfer facility at the Veolia site off Cowley Road is expected to continue until a suitable and
viable alternative relocation site is identified. The operations associated with the waste
recycling transfer facility e.g. noise, odours and vehicle movements, could be incompatible with
new residential, commercial, town centre and community uses on neighbouring sites without
appropriate phasing and the effective relocation of Veolia’s operations. Therefore, the criteria in
Policy 25 relating to noise and air quality to be assessed as part of design and layout (criteria
c), new sensitive uses to be integrated with existing businesses (criteria d), and to avoid
unreasonable restrictions on existing business operations (criteria e) are supported.
