Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

H/HM: Housing mix

Representation ID: 58595

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Marshall Group Properties

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

This policy has begun to consider the mix of homes that are needed across Greater Cambridge to support the area’s needs. The policy identifies some broad ranges as recommendations for housing mix and Marshall welcomes this approach. The mix of housing options at Cambridge East has been developed to meet the needs of the local population. The work that Marshall has undertaken so far on housing mix broadly aligns with this policy, but the deliverability and viability of these requirements may need to be reviewed as development proposals emerge.

H/HD: Housing density

Representation ID: 58599

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Marshall Group Properties

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

Marshall is supportive of a design-led approach to density that encourages each site to make the best use of land, whilst remaining sensitive to local character. Marshall has recently appointed specialist landscape architects who will be advising on the opportunities and constraints across the Cambridge East site and what these mean for densities and heights that can be supported across the development. It is intended that this work will feed into the discussions that Marshall will continue with the GCSP in order to help in demonstrating the capacity of the site and begin to establish design principles.

Infrastructure

Representation ID: 58612

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Marshall Group Properties

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

Spatial development of Cambridge to date partly reflects a lack of transport investment; therefore, Marshall supports the GCSP’s intent to focus on planning for the right services, facilities and transport opportunities in the right place, and bringing these forward at the right times to support growth. Marshall extends it support to the Local Plan’s intention to distribute development to locations that can make the most of existing infrastructure and that present opportunities to address any infrastructure deficits. Cambridge East provides an opportunity to deliver transformational solutions that unlock the investment needed in transport infrastructure to fix its economic geography.

I/ST: Sustainable transport and connectivity

Representation ID: 58620

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Marshall Group Properties

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

Marshall supports the principles of sustainable transport and the aims of this policy. Marshall recognises that, by locating growth in the most sustainable locations, this delivers the tools to start generating a modal shift towards the use of sustainable travel methods. Cambridge East is a catalyst for growth that can unlock the sustainable movement strategy for east Cambridge and contribute significantly towards a holistic solution for the whole city. It is only through intelligent growth, rather than a restricted approach to development, which can change the unsatisfactory status quo and bring transformational change in line with the Local Plan.
