Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 32175

Received: 06/11/2017

Respondent: Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited (USS) Aberdeen Asset Management on behalf of Barclays Nominees (Aberdeen)

Agent: Deloitte LLP

Representation Summary:

Wider consideration needs to be given as to how the Masterplan will impact the City Centre. For example, increases in retail, leisure and residential floorspace will have an impact on demand for transport. This is not addressed within the Masterplan. Additional benefits can be realised by also looking at the wider context and this should be recognised within the SPD e.g. improving links between Grafton and the Historic Core.
We also remain very concerned that the planned investment in extending the capacity of park and ride and improving its efficiency is brought forward as quickly as possible.
In this regard, we continue to re-iterate that we would like to collaborate with Cambridge City Council on a
spatial / economic / transport Masterplan for the City Centre.
