Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for consultation
Policy J/AW: Affordable workspace and creative industries
Representation ID: 204676
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: NEUBAU Architecture Ltd
I support Cambridge Junction and Create Cambridge in asking that:
• “Affordable Office Space” is clearly distinguished from “Cultural Production Space”
• genuinely affordable cultural production space is required (e.g. peppercorn, with rental charges well-below market rates and established based on evidence, ie Wysing Arts Centre’s research on affordable artist studios)
• rehearsal, making and sole-use studios are prioritised over generic co-working
• a minimum requirement (e.g., 10% in schemes over 1,000 sqm) is introduced
This safeguards usable creative space from being diluted.

Policy WS/MU: Meanwhile uses during long term redevelopments
Representation ID: 204680
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: NEUBAU Architecture Ltd
I support Create Cambridge in asking that:
a Meanwhile Strategy is required at validation for Areas of Major Change and large phased developments
strategies set out activation of vacant sites, governance arrangements, exit pathways to permanent provision
cultural/community uses are embedded throughout long construction periods, not only at completion
long-term vacant units are proactively enabled for cultural use; artists involved in shaping terms
clear exit pathways prevent displacement when redevelopment proceeds
creative commons/Creative Land Trust-style models are explored to secure permanent affordable space
Create Cambridge is engaged as a key consultee on delivery models, drawing on national and international precedents

Policy S/PRIA/EG: Eastern Gate
Representation ID: 204739
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: NEUBAU Architecture Ltd
The St Andrew the Less Community Project supports plans for improvements to the Eastern Gate, and encourages an addition:
1.g. celebrate and enhance the existing heritage, recognising that heritage can increase pride in place and connectedness for communities. The heretofore neglected heritage of the area must be revived and become available for use by the community and wider public.
Details of how this can be done are in the attached document.
The development of a heritage trail will also contribute to the vibrancy of this area and Riverside - details also attached.
