In general terms Turnstone supports the proposed development objectives, all of which are laudable and characteristic of what one would expect to see in high quality sustainable new developments. The only slight surprise is that one of the objectives does not specifically reference the significance and importance of the new proposed railway station, which has a pivotal role in supporting and enhancing new development at CNFE. The station is seen as a highly important piece of transport infrastructure that can ensure that sustainable transport choices can be made by future workers who will gain employment at CNFE. In particular rail links from the north and south, from locations with existing high levels of out-commuting to Cambridge e.g. Ely, Waterbeach, Royston etc. can facilitate access by non-car modes.

We would suggest an additional Proposed Objective which could say:

Provide excellent connectivity to more distant communities by sustainable transport routes through maximising use of the new proposed railway station, the guided bus, and cycle and pedestrian routes.
