Representation Summary:

The proposed objectives are supported but could be improved. Firstly, consistent with the proposed vision, the contribution of CNFE to the wider regeneration and growth agenda of Cambridge is important and could be further emphasised in the proposed objectives. Secondly, given the scale, importance and proximity of Waterbeach New Town, it would be beneficial to include reference to the objective of ensuring a well-co-ordinated and integrated approach between the two developments. Finally, direct reference to maximising the potential of the new railway station should be made.
