Savills Planning Team in Cambridge are instructed on behalf of St John's College, Cambridge to submit responses to the Issues and Options Report on the CNFE having regard to the College's landholdings and land interests at St John's Innovation Park west of Cowley Road and east of Milton Road.

We have made responses already to Q1 on the objectives including suggested wording to refer to the need for the strategy to reflect plot densification. On the specific issue of the College's interest, it is important that this section on Development Proposals reflects the opportunities provided to increase economic activity and deliver additional employment space to cater for new business - maximising employment opportunities is a main objective of the AAP and the St John's land must fall within such a scope. Separate representations are made to the Plan to ensure that the reference to plot densification should also apply to the St John's land.
