Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29883

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: St John's Innovation Centre

Representation Summary:

41.1 Option A relates to sustainable design and construction and floodrisk at the CNFE. It suggests that reliance be placed on Local Plan policies relating to climate change and sustainable design and construction. We support such an approach because Development Plan policies should guide development across the whole of the District. Creating a separate, more onerous policy regime compared is entirely inappropriate. This is particularly true if significant costs are involved in complying with more stringent policy guidance in the AAP

41.2 In our view, there should be no "special treatment" of sites within the CNFE; and if more onerous policies apply as legal obligations, then we object strongly to the St John's Innovation Park being included within the plan area.
