New searchBrookgate supports the proposed vision. The AAP area is the largest brownfield site in Cambridge and is extremely well served by existing public transport. It therefore has the potential to transform into a high-quality gateway to the city and act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the wider area. The White Paper “ Planning for the Future” sets out a proposed new approach to plan making. North East Cambridge would sit within the Growth Area definition.

In order to create a walkable, cyclable and sustainable neighbourhood which does not increase pressure on the road network around the area, development is proposed to be subject to strict trip budgets which will limit the number of vehicle trips allowed to and from each site, and reduced levels of car parking. Draft Policy 22 : Managing motorised vehicles sets out the trip budget principles and quotas, and the ratio of parking spaces that will be permitted for new development. Brookgate is comfortable future phases of Cambridge North can be brought forward in accordance with the external car and parking budgets set out in Draft Policy 22 and the Transport Evidence Base AAP Report (September 2019). CB1 around Cambridge Station provides a strong local example of low parking office and residential development and evidence from CB1 indicates low car parking can work. The Site has good public transport connectively, the CGB, frequent local buses (the Citi 2) and Park and Rides services, a mainline railway station and good cycle and pedestrian connectively to Cambridge City Centre and the cycle network in general. The Site can therefore support a low car parking strategy due to the abundance of other non-car mode options available. There are also significant opportunities to further enhance non-car modes of transport and to increase the number of ‘internal trips’. As such, there are significant opportunities to build a community where people can live and work, commuting by foot or bike or public transport within the NEC AAP area and surrounding urban area. Furthermore, there are emerging strategic schemes, such as the CAM which will provide a high frequency metro services between the Site and surrounding employment hubs and high-tech clusters of Greater Cambridge. With respect to the potential Maths School at Cambridge North, the school will have a Green Travel Plan and will look to minimise car to school transport and maximise encouragement of sustainable forms of transport.
