Objective 1: Deliver a place that supports and fosters a strong new neighbourhood, well integrated with the wider community - Support

A. Ensure that the needs of existing and future communities who live and work in and around Cambridge Northern Fringe East are met through development and that it is a place that can adapt to meet changing needs over time.

I support A but would not want current careful planning to be overturned by commercial interests at a later date.

B. By creating a sustainable, cohesive and inclusive area through improving access to jobs, homes, open space, leisure facilities and other services within the development and to the wider community.

B I support the development of leisure facilities and open space but not commercial development (retail park), which would attract more traffic to the area.

Objective 2: Provide a mix of land uses at densities that make best use of this highly sustainable location and regeneration opportunities

C. Increase the level of economic activity and vibrancy within Cambridge Northern Fringe East and the wider area, by accommodating an appropriate mix of office, R&D, industrial and other related employment uses supported by a range of commercial, retail, leisure, community and residential uses.

I do not support the development of R&D, industrial or commercial purposes unless these are on the perimeter of the site.

D. Focus higher density development around the transport hub and along public transport routes, taking account of the wider landscape and townscape context of the area.

D - I do not support the general principle of industrial use. I believe the guided busway route should retain wide pedestrian and cycle paths beside it, with trees and hedges to protect each from the other and to provide wind protection. Footpaths and cycle paths should be permitted the direct routes; cars should be directed via longer routes to preserve open green space.

Objective 3: Maximise the Employment Opportunities

E. Deliver additional flexible employment space to cater for a range of business types and sizes, and supporting a wide range of jobs for local income, skills and age groups.

E - I feel there should be a greater proportion of residential development than industrial.

F. Manage the release of any redevelopment sites and where possible accommodate the existing businesses elsewhere within the CNFE area.

F - Support

G. Support uses which are important to the operation of Greater Cambridge, including the strategic aggregates rail head, and the Water Recycling Centre.

Object - The Sewage Treatment works should be moved elsewhere.

Objective 4: Create a new local centre that meets the needs of the new community and which complements other facilities in the wider area

H. Create distinctive and well-connected mixed use local centre for Cambridge Northern Fringe East which provides a range facilities to meet the day to day needs of those live, work and visit the area.

H - I object - believe a sustainable new community should be developed with community buildings, local shops houses and a school.

Objective 5: Deliver high quality and well-designed buildings, streets and spaces that responds to the needs of the community and supports regeneration of the wider area

I. Create a distinctive local identity through development forms appropriate to the area and which create and improve the quality, appearance and function of the public realm.

I - I object to 'development forms' which are large, tall, ugly, conceived as a 'gateway' and poorly designed. I would require human-scale, attractive buildings which are fit for purpose with green space attractive for public use between them.

J. Ensure the design, scale and location of new buildings help create streets and places that are safe, easy and convenient to navigate around, and which encourage social interaction.

J - Cyclists and pedestrians should be given priority for routes. Cars should be directed to the periphery.

Objective 6: Create an accessible, permeable, well-connected and well-integrated new neighbourhood

K. Create a gateway development that maximises the potential of the proposed new Railway Station and Cambridge Guided Busway as a transport hub.

I object to the 'creation of a gateway' which implies a combination of tall, overbearing buildings and draughty, overshadowed streets between them.

L. Deliver enhanced connections for pedestrians, cyclists, buses, prioritise these modes to encourage a modal shift.

L - I support this!

Objective 7: Enhance and protect the natural environment and existing and proposed open spaces

M. Create a network of WIDE AND EXPANSIVE green spaces and corridors to protect and enhance biodiversity and watercourses as attractive features, linking into the surrounding area.

I support this!
Allow the strip of land beside the ditch along Cowley Road to remain a green space with a footpath along it.

N. Improve the setting of the area from key approaches including the route to the proposed new railway station.
N - I support this and would like to see every opportunity take to make the site greener.
O. Remediate land contamination.
O - I support this.

Objective 8: Encourage a low carbon lifestyle & addressing climate change

P. Deliver sustainable forms of development, mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
P - I support this.
