Land to the north of Station Road, Cambridge is submitted as a potential allocation for employment in the Local Plan.
The supporting Planning Representations and Vision Document provides further detail on the significant opportunity that the site presents, informed by additional site assessment work and in light of the four ‘big themes’ identified in the consultation document.
Land to the north of Station Road is the last section of the Station Road area to benefit from a clear and shared long-term vision and so represents a significant opportunity to continue the successful transformation of this part of the city and provide additional capacity to support the further clustering around the Station.
The Site is within single ownership and capable of delivering a well-designed, high quality development that could make efficient use of a brownfield site, in a highly sustainable location, whilst also being able to respect its historic context. The site’s proximity to Cambridge railway station, links to the Chisholm trail and the transport interchange at the Station also enables opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes.
