• Employment uses focusing on innovation and technology in the aviation sector, which will include electric and electronic aircraft technologies and other aviation-related technologies which provide efficiencies to other industry sectors, aimed at lowering the aviation and other industry sectors’ CO2 emissions; • Residential uses (and enhanced local services) co-located with the employment on the same site and thus looking to optimise the amount of “self-containment,” reducing unnecessary car travel by making walking and cycling the preferred travel mode; • The proposals are within a public transport corridor close to Whittlesford Parkway station. The proposal will include a “Green Link” from Whittlesford through an extended Duxford village and onto Duxford IWM to reduce private car travel to the expanding museum facility; • Sustainable design and building construction techniques should be used to meet climate change demands, electric charging network provided, and walking and cycling encouraged. Further work will be undertaken to investigate use of renewable and low carbon energy sources; • Proposals include a new 40 ha country park (which will largely replace Grade 3 agricultural use which has a low biodiversity value) and a green network throughout the proposed development will lead to a net increase in tree and hedge cover, a net gain in biodiversity and green infrastructure; and • Extending an existing Cambridge village which is located outside the Green Belt (Duxford), providing the existing and new community with new and enhanced facilities such as school, health, culture, commercial and leisure provision, which will ensure the village remains sustainable, inclusive and diverse.

See answer to Q3 and Q8. Additionally, the new 40 ha country park proposed at Duxford would provide public access to the countryside, which currently does not exist. The development would have a green estate management plan which would link up to other green spaces, walks, and bridleways in the area whilst safeguarding and enhancing existing public rights of way.
