Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57211

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Abrdn

Agent: Deloitte

Representation Summary:

Abrdn supports the overarching ambitions of proposed policy GP/PP. However, Abrdn recommends that as the policy is developed consideration is given to ensuring there is sufficient flexibility for well-designed and high quality buildings to come forward even if they are taller than the surrounding townscape. High quality taller landmark buildings can have a positive impact on their setting by adding to the townscape and this should be allowed for within the policy.
