IWM and Caius are generally supportive of overall development strategy. However, it must be applied flexibly so opportunities for new economic innovation clusters in suitable locations where no other reasonable alternative sites exist should not be missed, NPPF 82(d).

Key employment sites have been growing mainly to south with key residential sites to north and west of the city. Development strategy should encourage innovative clusters in appropriate locations with associated new homes and community infrastructure to ensure a sustainable spatial strategy.

IWM and Caius are developing sustainable proposals for globally significant aviation/air mobility innovation centre at Duxford, with an expansion of Duxford village for a sustainable mixed use scheme with enhanced links to Whittlesford Parkway.
