(Education) The Council notes the intention ‘to add flexibility to the [existing] policy, to allow an element of residential, focused on affordable housing and key workers’ on a site primarily focused on science and technological research. The Council would recommend a plan to incorporate likely dwelling numbers and density at an early date and would support the approach to consider ‘the potential for a single policy that looks at this site together with the University’s North West Cambridge site, to ensure the benefits of this significant area of innovation are maximised, will be considered as part of preparing the draft plan.’ This would help ensure social and community infrastructure assets, including early years and education provision, are included as necessary and shared across sites of a similar community character.

(Minerals and Waste) Small part of site is within a MSA for chalk. Within settlement boundary.
