Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 56143

Received: 05/10/2020

Respondent: U+I PLC.

Agent: We are Town

Representation Summary:

Continued concerns about provisions with regard to density, heights, scale and massing. The prescriptive format of the
diagrams is not underpinned by density studies and risks creating obstacles in the delivery of a compliant scheme.
Ongoing concerns over incompatibility of block structure shown with our emerging masterplan.
Page 105 - A quick analysis by Urbed of the residential densities set out in the draft suggests a maximum capacity using
the AAP figures of 12,167 units (see Appendix 4). The approach should be reconfigured as ‘heat maps’, less definitive and feature minimum densities to be achieved. This is one demonstration of our concerns over the diagrams and how they
might be read in a ‘binary’ rather than more nuanced way.
Height restriction of six storeys adjacent to A14 – may be overly restrictive and should be reviewed in line with emerging
acoustic strategy in due course.
