Land at Granham's Road, Cambridge (HELAA site 40138)
We support the directing of growth towards locations that have the least climate impact, and where active and public transport are readily available. The Campus is developing into an exemplary location in this regard. The scale of the floorspace requirement at the Campus, across the range of land uses necessary justifies the full scale development of the district set out in Vision 2050, west as well as east of the railway line.

We support the directing of groThe Campus is developing into an exemplary location in this regard wth towards locations that have the least climate impact, and where active and public transport are readily available. Development should be planned with good existing and proposed public transport, particularly in locations close to existing employment clusters. The Campus is developing into an exemplary location in this regard and planned expansion of the Campus onto land to the south will allow it to continue to do so.
The scale of the floorspace requirement at the Campus, across the range of land uses necessary for the Campus to develop as a sustainable Innovation district, embedded in a strong landscape framework justifies the full scale development of the district set out in Vision 2050, west as well as east of the West Anglia mainline.
