Respondent: Brookgate

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

The transport network is a key constraint in bringing forward development at CNFE. The Milton Road corridor and A14 Milton Interchange currently operate at capacity during peak travel periods. The CNFE has the potential to become highly sustainable due to the new railway station, extended Guided Busway and pedestrian/cycle enhancements, however highway capacity remains a significant constraint requiring further investigation with a mitigation strategy developed as part of any future development proposals.

Contamination should not be overstated and seen as a barrier to development. The current odour maps do not reflect Anglian Water's proposed WRC upgrades and should be re-visited.
