Endorse in part. Care must be taken to prevent meanwhile use on sites proposed on Green Belt while waiting for consents. Such use would be incursion into the Green Belt and contrary to Policy GP/GB Protection and Enhancement of the Cambridge Green Belt and could cause unjustified damage should the applications fail.
In the case of Policy S/NEC North East Cambridge, consideration should be given to established businesses, including those on Nuffield Road, which would vacate the site when development starts and support should be given them to maintain businesses as long as possible and in finding a new site.
Where possible meanwhile use should concentrate on low carbon use, minimal CO2 producing construction and where possible provide green space, adequately maintained to prevent vandalism.
