Respondent: Pace Investments
Agent: Bidwells
100-112 Hills Road, Cambridge (HELAA site 40214)
Site identified under Policy S/LAC (S/C/M44) as mixed-use. Pace wish to see commercial allocation (with retention of Flying Pig).
Should recognise opportunities redevelopment of high profile site offers, located on main route from Station and developments along Station Road into City Centre; can deliver a development that embraces innovation, is dynamic and bold, creating the workplace of future, whilst exploiting its highly accessible location. Potential to bring significant benefits to local environment through creation of new amenity space, public realm and enhancing public accessibility.
Significant new development within station area and along Station Road, including residential. Currently limited Grade A office space available in core city centre market. Limited space being built, is already identified, or which could potentially come forward, is already attracting strong interest and few sites available to meet need.
Please see attached planning commentary.
