It is difficult to say at this time what ancillary uses should be included within the area. The AAP is set to undergo major change through, in particular, redevelopment and transport infrastructure. There should be a policy context formed that allows for flexibility for a wide range of supporting uses to come forward; but a policy basis that any such development has to present how it supports the objectives of the AAP area.

The policy agenda around Health and Wellbeing is still relatively new and is evolving. The aspiration for a healthy place is correct, but the policy should be more flexible to be able to respond to an evolving area of planning policy and not be absolute against a current policy.

CRC is an important stakeholder and a notable user of the local transport infrastructure. CRC will contribute to the critical mass to underpin a sustainable transport network and should be part of the discussions. The connectivity planning for the AAP area should include for CRC.

Yes, there should be an efficient use of land around major transport hubs and those areas that are well-served by them.

Any connectivity is a positive step, whether this be connecting to jobs-homes-green space- transport.
The priority should be the east-west movements to connect the Railway Station west to CSP, CRC and the wider community to increase the use of the train. The priority should be for cycle and pedestrian connectivity, but with allowance for the inevitable introduction of autonomous vehicles.
Furthermore, the east-west movement will connect CSP with the regeneration area and create a single place where people that live in North East Cambridge can easily work in North East Cambridge.

Yes, all connectivity is a positive step, but the priority connectivity must be east-west across Milton Road.

It is difficult to select a preferred option without the detailed implications of each; however, the ultimate choice should be selected on the benefits it offers to the ease, convenience and safety of the pedestrian and cyclist, along with the attractiveness of those routes.

It must be recognised, in the balance, that the Milton Road access into CSP is its principal vehicle access. Even with the priority focus being on sustainable transport there will also be a role for car and larger vehicles; perhaps even as autonomous vehicles in the future. A 'Milton Road solution' will need to allow for a Milton Road CSP access.

Yes, the legibility to this part of Cambridge is weak. Development could bring about a major and positive chance to this northern gateway entrance into Cambridge. It can proudly represent the Science and Technology work undertaken for some 50 years in this part of the District. A more legible place will also encourage people to use the public transport available.

Do you agree with proposals to include low levels of parking as part of creating Yes, there needs to be a move towards sustainable modes of transport. There may be a need for different policies across the AAP area to recognise different uses, proximity to transport hubs and a transition to more sustainable modes, alongside an increase in the sustainable transport infrastructure in the area.
