Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

S/JH: New jobs and homes

Representation ID: 59076

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Newlands Developments

Agent: Avison Young

Representation Summary:

Summary: Brickyard Farm, Boxworth Farm, Boxworth (HELAA site 47353)

Draft Policy S/JH clearly underestimates and fails to meet the need for employment floorspace, particularly Class B8 logistics floorspace in Greater Cambridge. This does not reflect national planning policy guidance set out in Paragraph 83 of the NPPF that calls for planning policies to recognise and address the specific locational requirements of different sectors, including storage and distribution operations at a variety of scales and in suitably accessible locations. Changes are sought to Policy S/JH and the underpinning evidence.

S/JH: New jobs and homes

Representation ID: 59318

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Newlands Developments

Agent: Avison Young

Representation Summary:

Summary: Brickyard Farm, Boxworth Farm, Boxworth (HELAA site 47353)

Promoting land at Brickyard Farm, Boxworth for development comprising warehousing & distribution, research & development, & light industrial floorspace. Scheme for on-site renewable energy generation that meets its own power requirements and opportunities for surplus to be put into National Grid.

Council’s approach in Policy S/JH considerably underestimates and fails to meet need for employment floorspace, particularly Class B8 logistics floorspace, and that proposed Policy J/NE restriction on provision of large-scale regional and national warehousing and distribution within the area is contrary to economic trends, market evidence and scale of economic ambition for Region.

Site is suitable extension to proposed allocation south of A14 services. Contribute towards latent and future industrial and logistics needs, including much-needed warehousing that would support other key economic sectors and growing population with ever increasing demands for e-commerce.
