Continued economic growth is extremely important in the next Local Plan period, not least because it is inextricably linked to quality of life social, physical and mental wellbeing. We note in particular the findings of the 2018 Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER). This sets out a compelling case for the international importance of the Cambridge economy, a target to double the economic output of Cambridgeshire, and notes the real risk of decline if policies do not support the investment in infrastructure, housing (including affordable housing) and the economy, with a blended development strategy proposed. We note that all of the Local Authorities have signed up to recommendations of the CPIER report, which is welcomed. In the spirit of CPIER, CUHP believes that economic, housing and infrastructure growth must be given comparable weight to the other Big Themes at the very heart of the Local Plan; in line with the Government’s Objectives for Sustainable Development as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. Environmental protection and economic growth, housing and infrastructure delivery are not mutually exclusive. The challenge is to deliver growth in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. A CBC Strategy Group with representation from all campus organisations has agreed to develop a Vision 2050 for the CBC. Subject to ratification by the CBC Strategy Group, this will be shared with the Greater Cambridge Planning Service by summer 2020 to define the extent, scale and location of development proposed throughout the timescale of the next Local Plan, and the anticipated number of jobs to be supported by the CBC by 2050. The CBC has a critical role in supporting local economic growth. The continued success of the campus can only be realised if the policies of the Local Plan provide a supportive framework for delivery. Housing must be delivered in the right places to provide affordable homes to the workforce and transport improvements delivered to reduce dependency on the car; all underpinned by a joined up strategy that considers all of the pillars of sustainable development. CUHP is committed to working with the Greater Cambridge Planning Service to develop an appropriate policy framework to guide the future development of the CBC.

The Local Plan should be coordinated with and support the delivery of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Industrial Strategy (CPLIS). Planning for the long-term success of the life sciences sector is particularly important given the rapid take-up of land at Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC). The Local Plan should make provision for future life science development to 2040 and beyond. Successful innovation ecosystems are dependent upon variety and availability of space at every stage. CPLIS notes that Greater Cambridge could benefit from more start up and particularly scale up space, where innovation can be developed in close proximity to clinical service and academic expertise. We note that the Combined Authority and Greater Cambridge Partnership are working to support this, which is welcomed, and the Local Plan should support this process. A CBC Strategy Group with representation from all campus organisations has agreed to develop a Vision 2050 for the CBC. Subject to ratification by the CBC Strategy Group, this will be shared with the Greater Cambridge Planning Service by summer 2020 to define the extent, scale and location of development proposed throughout the timescale of the next Local Plan, and the anticipated number of jobs to be supported by the CBC by 2050. CUHP is committed to working with the Greater Cambridge Planning Service to develop an appropriate policy framework to guide the future development of the CBC.

Planning for the long-term success of the life sciences sector is particularly important given the rapid take-up of land at Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC). The Local Plan should make provision for future life science development to 2040 and beyond, recognising that knowledgeintensive businesses benefit from co-location with other sector specialists and from close proximity to clinical service and academic expertise. A CBC Strategy Group with representation from all campus organisations has agreed to develop a Vision 2050 for the CBC. Subject to ratification by the CBC Strategy Group, this will be shared with the Greater Cambridge Planning Service by summer 2020 to define the extent, scale and location of development proposed throughout the timescale of the next Local Plan, and the anticipated number of jobs to be supported by the CBC by 2050.
