Previously developed land
The vision is to transform the site, maximising the site’s potential to deliver sustainable development through the densification of a brownfield site, providing mixed use development that is highly connected to sustainable transport links. The proposed development is for a commercial-led development comprising mostly offices with potential for active ground floor frontages comprising flexible public facing retail, restaurant and cafe (Use Class A1, A3 and A4) together with car and cycle parking,
The redevelopment of the site allows for a number of opportunities to bring economic, social and environmental benefits to the local area, including: ● Making efficient use of commercial brownfield land in a highly sustainable location to deliver a range of commercial land uses; ● Providing high quality Class A office accommodation in a highly attractive and highly accessible location with close access to major public infrastructure through proximity to Cambridge railway station; ● Improving the public realm on a site that is currently inaccessible to the public; ● High quality buildings in a key location of the highest architectural quality designed to enhance the conservation area, improve the street scene along Station Road; ● The introduction of active ground floor frontages, creating potential links into the site and respecting the relationship to the surrounding area; ● Introducing new areas of landscaping and amenity space across/around the site; ● Development that sensitively responds to the heritage context of the New Town and Glisson Road Common Conservation Area; ● Achieving a development that will maximise the sites potential as a key site between the railway station and city core that will attract business and the public alike; and ● Supporting the local economy by introducing new jobs and adding to the range of jobs available.

Also specified Next 6-10 years. Full planning permission granted on 15 January 2020 for the redevelopment of 10 Station Road. Emerging proposals are being developed for Kett House
There is a lack of Grade A office space in Cambridge. For the R&D and business services sector, the location decisional drivers are access and ability to recruit the right skill sets. Kett House and 10 Station Road provides this, but the lack of available space and lack of development pipeline puts that resilience at risk and could undermine the growth of the R&D sector. Developing Kett House and 10 Station Road can help address the demand and supply imbalance for quality office stock by bringing forward Grade A space in close proximity to an existing transport hub.

As with most brownfield development, there will be a certain level of abnormal costs but these have been factored into initial viability testing for the emerging proposals.
