Paragraph 5.1.5 references the vehicular entrance and exit to the Grand Arcade car park. The SPD states the intention is, if possible, for increased areas of pavement to improve the safety of pedestrians but it is not intended for Corn Exchange Street to become the prinicipal place of arrival for pedestrians or for it to be more that the service road. USS support enhanced connectivity only if there are no future impacts or restrictions for the car parks / Grand Arcade and that access is not restricted as a result of the changes.

Paragarph 5.1.11 proposes changes to the design of the paving and the introduction of trees and a system of controlling traffic queues for the car park during busy periods. Moving forward, USS would resist restrictions on the car parks that will impact upon their operational requirements therefore request that we discuss proosals and potential impacts as they emerge to ensure that USS' requirements are taken into consideration.

USS would resist future restrictions on current operations as a result of any proposals. Due to the proposals set out above and in light of the proximity of Grand Arcade and the exit of car parks on to Corn Exchange Street, USS seek to engage with Cambridge City COuncil to further understand the aspirations for the public realm improvements and any alterations to highways as proposals develop in the future.
