Full text:

Turnstone does not consider that it is strictly necessary to include Cambridge Science Park (CSP) in the AAP area but it does need to be recognized as an important ongoing part of an R&D/Office cluster on the northern side of Cambridge, and this suggests to us that contrary to what the AAP Issues and Options document currently indicates, the focus for denser employment development should reflect this cluster at the CSP and the Cambridge Business Park as well as St John's Innovation Centre. At present, the AAP indicates denser development close to the new station which we do not consider makes sense as we explain elsewhere.

It is noted that the CSP extension appears to take in Cambridge Regional College (CRC). It is not clear why this would be appropriate.
