Key parts of the development strategy for emerging GCLP comprises the delivery of complex developments that also require the delivery of transport and community infrastructure, some involve the relocation of the existing uses. with challenging delivery rates. Most will provide less affordable housing than required.

The promoted development by North BRLOG at South West Cambridge would include market and affordable housing, it is accessible by sustainable modes of transport, and is well-related to employment opportunities.

Therefore, it is considered that the development strategy for emerging GCLP should also include additional allocations on the edge of Cambridge at South West Cambridge.

Respondent: North Barton Road Landowners Group

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

North BRLOG promoting land at South West Cambridge as an exemplar, landscape-led, and highly sustainable new neighbourhood. Vision Document, informed by number of technical reports, been prepared for promoted development.
Masterplan for promoted development has taken into account the significance and setting of identified heritage assets and landscape character, in order to ensure any impacts are mitigated wherever possible. In summary, promoted development includes a substantial central east-west open corridor through site which takes into account some of primary viewpoints towards City from west, retains existing landscape features, and locates development to avoid potential adverse effects on setting of landmark/taller heritage assets in City. This approach is consistent with design policies in Section 3.4. Masterplan demonstrates that heritage and landscape assets within and on the edge of Cambridge can be protected in conjunction with a strategic site allocation at South West Cambridge.

I/ST: Sustainable transport and connectivity

Representation ID: 58978

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: North Barton Road Landowners Group

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

The preferred development strategy seeks to co-locate housing close to jobs, services and facilities in order to reduce the need to travel and support travel by walking, cycling and public transport. This approach is consistent with Paragraphs 104 and 105 of the NPPF and is supported. However, it is considered of the aim of Policy I/ST will only be fully implemented if all available opportunities to direct development to sustainable locations are taken, including additional development being directed to the edge of Cambridge.

It is requested that the promoted development by North BRLOG at South West Cambridge is allocated for an urban extension, in order to support the aims of Policy I/ST e.g. reduce transport emissions, reduce the need to travel, and encourage the use of sustainable modes of transport.

Sustainability Appraisal

Representation ID: 58986

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: North Barton Road Landowners Group

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

A key aim of the Sustainability Appraisal process is to make a plan more sustainable. It tests the social, economic and environmental impacts of various plan options, to help choose the most sustainable options. It also seeks to determine the extent to which the principles of sustainable development are integrated into the plan and its policies.

It is considered by North BRLOG that the Sustainability Appraisal has not sought to make emerging GCLP more sustainable. It appears that the assessment against sustainability objectives is not robust because it does not critically review or challenge the evidence provided by the Councils.
