New search8.2 Densification of existing urban areas has many advantages as outlined in the consultation document; ● Reduces the need to use greenfield land to accommodate growth; ● Living in central, well-connected and vibrant areas is important for many people; ● Reduces the need to travel by car and so makes a positive contribution to addressing climate change; ● Sites growth near to existing centres, which can continue to support their vitality and viability. 8.3 The principle of densification is supported. The NPPF confirms, at paragraph 118, that planning policies should “give substantial weight to the value of using suitable brownfield land within settlements for homes and other identified needs” and “promote and support the development of under-utilised land and buildings”. The NPPF continues, at paragraph 112, in advising that planning policies should support development that makes efficient use of land, taking into account, inter alia, the identified need for different types of housing and other forms of development, and the availability of land suitable for accommodating it. 8.4 As set out above, a combination of approaches for the spatial distribution of growth in the area is likely to be required. However, opportunities for densification of existing urban areas in locations well served by public transport should be maximised wherever possible. 8.5 Land south of Bateman Street, Cambridge is in single ownership and provides an opportunity to meet an identified need for Grade A office space within a newly formed city quarter. The Site presents a significant opportunity for redevelopment whilst still being able to respond to local character and protect the historic environment. The Site is proposed for allocation in the emerging Local Plan on this basis.

8.6 Development is best suited to being located along transport corridors to promote sustainable development and transport issues should be considered from the earliest in accordance with Para. 102 of the NPPF. 8.7 Trinity Hall support the principle of siting development along transport corridors, in accordance with national planning policy and guidance which encourages development to be focused on locations which are or can be made sustainable, through limiting the need to travel and offering a genuine choice of transport modes. 8.8 Land to the south of Bateman Street is located on a key public transport corridor, being within easy walking distance of Cambridge central station and the city centre. It is therefore in a highly sustainable location for growth.

‘Cambridge Railway Station, Hills Road Corridor to the City Centre Opportunity Area’ (Policy 25) Cambridge Local Plan 2018 9.1 Land to the south of Bateman Street falls within the ‘Cambridge Railway Station, Hills Road Corridor to the City Centre Opportunity Area’ (Policy 25) of the adopted Cambridge Local Plan (2018). 9.2 Policy 25 confirms that development proposals within the Cambridge Railway Station, Hills Road Corridor to the City Centre Opportunity Area will be supported if they help promote and coordinate the use of sustainable transport modes, and deliver and reinforce a sense of place and local shops and services. Development proposals are also expected to deliver a series of coordinated streetscape and public realm improvements. 9.3 Trinity Hall are fully supportive of the aims and objectives of Policy 25 and the drive to deliver an improved public realm along Hills Road. This policy objective should be followed through to the new Greater Cambridge Local Plan and the Site should continue to fall within the Opportunity Area. ‘Station Areas West and Clifton Road Area of Major Change’ (Policy 21) Cambridge Local Plan (2018) 9.4 Land south of Bateman Street is currently excluded from the ‘Station Areas West and Clifton Road Area of Major Change’, under Policy 21 (see Figure 1.3 below). 9.5 Land to the south of Bateman Street has an important role to play in the continuing redevelopment and revitalisation of the emerging central business district along Station Road and Hills Road. It is therefore requested that the boundaries of the ‘Station Areas West and Clifton Road Area of Major Change’, under Policy 21 of the adopted Cambridge Local Plan 2018, is reviewed as part of the emerging Greater Cambridge Local Plan, to include for Land to the south of Bateman Street.
