It is proposed that affordable workspace is required to be delivered through the larger commercial developments. Marshall is supportive of this policy intent and is committed to providing a scheme that offers a broad range of opportunities. The delivery of a wide range and mix of employment floorspace is an important consideration in the evolution of the design of Cambridge East to ensure that the development is both fit for today’s requirements, but is also sufficiently flexible to ensure it is future proofed.
It is proposed, through this policy, that affordable workspace is required to be delivered through the larger commercial developments. Marshall is supportive of this policy intent and is committed to providing a scheme that offers a broad range of opportunities. The delivery of a wide range and mix of employment floorspace is an important consideration in the evolution of the design of Cambridge East. Marshall has instructed specialist commercial advisers to provide advice on what mix of uses Cambridge East should be looking to deliver. This advice will also serve to ensure that Cambridge East is both fit for today’s requirements, but is also sufficiently flexible to ensure it is future proofed.
