Documents within the GCSP evidence base including the Development Strategy Options and Strategic Spatial Options for Testing documents from November 2020 highlight the benefits of meeting development needs in sustainable locations adjacent to Cambridge. The identified expansion into land south of the Campus offers one such opportunity. Opportunities to do so should be optimised and preferred, which will help to reduce pressure from proposals for new settlements that do not offer the same sustainability benefits, proximity to existing employment and active and public transport infrastructure offered by locating growth in locations adjacent to Cambridge including at Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
