Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58908

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: CBC Limited, Cambridgeshire County Council and a private family trust

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus and immediate area will benefit from significant planned improvements in transport infrastructure, including from the Cambridge South Station and CSET extension. It is an appropriate, sustainable location at which to plan further development.

Planning at scale enables the greatest opportunity to achieve modal shift.

The expansion of the Campus into the identified Area of Major Change is an opportunity to bring development at a scale that can provide access to new infrastructure to address existing deficits, in a location that can reduce rather than add pressure to existing transport networks.
