Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29890

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: St John's Innovation Centre

Representation Summary:

47.1 Option B on phasing and delivery approach set out in the Issues and Options Report implies that any planning application for the first phase of development will need to provide a Masterplan for the whole of the AAP area. It is unclear where the first phase of development will take place and we have seen nothing in the plan as published for consultation that suggests a phased approach to the development. The redevelopment options are not phasing plans and therefore it is difficult to
understand why a developer of any area of land within the Plan should be made responsible for providing a Masterplan for the whole of the area. The AAP as drafted and set out in Option A on page 68 of the report should provide the principles for a development framework against which a specific phase of redevelopment can come forward as part of its own individual, detailed planning application. We object to the onus placed on the first developer to set out a Masterplan for the whole of the CNFE as it is entirely unreasonable.
