Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

CNFE is bounded by the railway line (east), the A14 (north), Milton Road (west) and Chesterton (south). The City Centre is 3.5km from the site. This physical context presents opportunities to investigate heights and densities which might not be supported in other Cambridge locations: taller buildings wouldn't impact on existing residential properties with regard to sunlight/daylight but could release significant development pressure from the historic city core and create an opportunity to define the NE corner of Cambridge with striking buildings visible from the A14. The AAP requires some form of masterplan in whole/part and this should inform building heights.
