We support the site allocations for the Old Press Mill Lane site and the New Museums Site being rolled forward into the Greater Cambridge Local Plan.
The University does not support the removal of land Hills Road as a site allocation (Proposals Site E5 in Policy 25 of the Cambridge Local Plan (2018)).
We support the site allocations for the Old Press Mill Lane site and the New Museums Site being rolled forward from the adopted 2018 Cambridge Local Plan into the new Greater Cambridge Local Plan. Development of both of these sites will come forward during the plan period.
The University does not support the removal of land Hills Road as a site allocation (currently identified as Proposals Site E5 in Policy 25 of the Cambridge Local Plan (2018)). 7-9 Hills road has recently been refurbished and let for a short period, with the potential to redevelop during the plan period to 2041 once the lease has expired. The University intends to bring forward redevelopment of 1-3 Hills Road in the early part of the plan period.
