17.1 Developments within any Cambridge Northern Fringe AAP area will need to be in accordance with the Adopted Local Plan, which is currently at Examination stage. Policy 60 and Appendix F of that Plan provide the detailed policy applicable to Tall Buildings and the Skyline. Guidance in the emerging Local Plan stipulates a robust set of criteria to assist in assessing the likely impact of a tall building or buildings: it seeks to ensure that the overall character and the qualities of the Cambridge skyline should be maintained and where appropriate enhanced as the City develops. Within the CNFE Plan area, we consider it appropriate for the Local Plan criteria to apply; applicants should be expected to provide a clear justification for tall buildings within any submitted Design and Access Statement. If the Councils acknowledge the potential of plot densification on and around the St John's Innovation Park (for which we argue throughout this submission) the acceptability of building heights in the area should be assessed in the context of existing structures and the nature
and use of surrounding areas.

17.2 Whatever policy emerges from the APP must be in accordance with the policy in the Adopted Plan.
