The redevelopment of Mill Road Depot site could potentially deliver a high quality strategic biodiversity 'hotspot' for the City connecting to a strong city-wide wildlife corridor (railway line). The importance of the railway line and associated brownfield sites for biodiversity has already been identified within the North-West Cambridge area (e.g. Science Park railway station) and the development of the Guided Busway. Therefore, support the requirement for a significant proportion of the Mill Road Depot site should be allocated to open space, particularly inclusion of a green corridor along the eastern boundary that abuts the railway line (Chisholm Trail).
