The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire's support of Policy S/C/PPS as owner of the Site, to confirm that it is deliverable within the Local Plan period and to suggest minor changes to the wording of the policy which would ensure that the requirements are clearer for all. PCC supports the proposed uses referenced in the policy, namely a residential-led scheme with ancillary complimentary uses such as offices or a hotel. It is important that this flexibility in potential uses is retained as part of the policy wording so as to ensure that a deliverable scheme can be developed at the detailed design stage.

The criteria set out as 1. a. to d. and 2. are generally supported. It is suggested that the policy is amended to:
• Reflect that national planning policy specifically recognises that there can be circumstances where a harm to a heritage asset can be outweighed by public benefit.
•Revise wording of 1. d. to add “….(unless their removal is justified as part of a planning application)” at the end of this criterion.
• Revise wording of 2. to “….provided there is no unacceptable adverse impacts on residential amenity” rather than “….provided there is no adverse impacts on residential amenity” as some level of impacts can be acceptable. Criteria 1. b. and c. also already refer to avoiding “unacceptable” impacts.
• Include land in PCC ownership on the Parkside frontage which is not currently within the proposed allocation site – proposed allocation site plan reproduced below above title plan showing all of the PCC site, the inclusion of this land will ensure that the whole site is considered comprehensively.
