Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 56140

Received: 05/10/2020

Respondent: U+I PLC.

Agent: We are Town

Representation Summary:

c) Ensure that the form, architectural design and layout clearly articulate the intended uses within a development – Given
how we expect uses to start blending especially post-Covid (What happens to retail? Where do we work?), this may not
be as clear. In addition the document specifically talks about flexible forms of use and this is not in line with ‘clearly
articulating the intended use.’
e) Active ground floor uses. Agree in principle but this is at odds with the low cap on non-residential use on the Core Site
and viability of ground floor uses.
Page 79. “The Council will lead on the production of a site wide design code for the North East Cambridge area that will
require input from the various landowners and their design teams.” Our understanding was the design code will be led by
us and will apply to the Core Site only and not that there will be an overarching design code for the whole AAP led by the
council. Many measures set out in the draft AAP are in actual fact more appropriate for a design code.
