There are no strong preferences on the options but the overarching objective to create a transformative gateway with a strong employment focus should remain consistent. Option 3 (Higher Level of Redevelopment) is supported but it is imperative to confirm that the rationalisation of the water recycling plant is feasible, viable and would not delay development on the remainder of the site.
There are no strong preferences on the options but the overarching objective to create a transformative gateway with a strong employment focus should remain consistent. Option 3 (Higher Level of Redevelopment) is supported but it is imperative to confirm that the rationalisation of the water recycling plant is feasible, viable and would not delay development on the remainder of the site. In addition, flexibility should be applied over the additional residential land suggested in Option 3 at Nuffield Road. The site is plainly a suitable and sustainable location for a range of uses but especially offices/R&D uses given its proximity to the new railway station and the Science Park. Consequently, the mix of uses should ensure the primacy of employment and not inhibit demand for employment related uses.
