13.1 Redevelopment Option 4 as put forwarded within the Plan is based on the assumption that Anglian Water will choose to relocate the whole of the Water Recycling Centre off site. We note that an alternative site has not been identified.

13.2 However, if relocation is undertaken, it means that rather than having a major constraining activity affecting the nature and scale of surrounding land uses, a more comprehensive view can be taken on appropriate development proposals. CNFE is rightly identified largely for employment uses, with the more residential themes being located in and around any new railway station. Land in and around the St John's Innovation Park has been identified within this Option for further development by way of plot densification. Since the Cambridge Business Park has been specifically identified for such a policy approach, it is entirely appropriate that the St John's Innovation Park is equally identified. No meaningful difference arises between the two sites in terms of their ability to accommodate additional employment floorspace.

13.3 Furthermore, the proposed household waste recycling centre/inert recycling facility has been positioned in the north-western corner of the (former) Anglia Water site, adjacent to the Vitrum Building on the St John's Innovation Park. In the absence clarity on the functions and appearance of the facility, we assume that it is in effect a relocation of the existing facility at Butt Lane in Milton. We cannot see how such a use is compatible with adjacent B1 offices and research and development uses on one of the most important research parks in Cambridge. Alternative locations exist across the land area within the CNFE.

13.4 We therefore object to Option 4 until these issues are suitably addressed.
