Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59302

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Avison Young

Representation Summary:

Policy S/JH considerably underestimates and fails to meet the need for employment floorspace, particularly Class B8 logistics floorspace in Greater Cambridge, and that the proposed Policy J/NE restriction on the provision of large-scale regional and national warehousing and distribution within the area is contrary to economic trends, market evidence and the scale of economic ambition for the Region. Changes are, therefore, sought as set out in further detail in the enclosed representations document.
