There are currently several existing formal and informal accesses to the site of Madingley Road and Cambridge Road. These could be upgraded or new accesses delivered.
There is one Grade II Listed Building, Moor Barns Farmhouse, Located within the south of the site. It is not considered that this represents a significant constraint to development of the site in whole or part.
There are nearby utilities. Early investigations find there is no reason the site cannot be provided for with all necessary infrastructure.
No existing uses that would prevent development from coming forward. There is market need now of the Mid-Tech space. Programme will be driven by the planning process.
The operation of the CSP and the related conversations with many companies, the involvement in the Science and Technology sector and the associated market research alongside finds an unquestionable need for such floorspace.
