Greater Cambridge Local Plan Issues & Options 2020

2.38 A similar policy to E/7 will be needed to encourage IWM Duxford to flourish. The policy would be even more useful if it made mention of the site masterplan and allowed scope for this to be adopted as a SPD. 2.39 The Masterplan has provided an agreed set of development principles for the sustainable use of the site and its buildings by IWM which could help streamline the process of consent for the planning authority and IWM, releasing staff time and budgets for both. 2.40 Whilst the wording of paragraph 10.37 of the present plan, requiring consultation with the IWM over tall developments around the site, is welcome, this does not have the power of a specific policy which would give greater protection to the ability to fly historic planes from the airfield and safeguard its historic landscape setting.
