While I accept the desirability of allowing the Biomedical Campus to expand, there are pressing issues which need to be addressed and which are more urgent, i.e. the inadequate public transport and the need to "green" the campus to make it less stark.
I understand it is not intended to use the existing field boundaries, with their straight lines and sharp angles, as the future boundary for an expanded Biomedical Campus. This is one of the very few areas of Cambridge with anything that could be described as upland and this is a precious asset which should not be despoiled.
