Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

This objection is made on behalf Trinity College, Cambridge as the owners and custodians of the Cambridge Science Park (CSP).
The APP is written solely with the intention to inform and direct the Cambridge Northern Fringe East (CNFE) area. The objectives for the APP are set out at its paragraph 1.13 and clearly relate to the regeneration of CNFE. The various technical studies explained in the AAP are based on maps that relate only to the CNFE area.
The inclusion of CSP in the APP would be as a 'bolt on' to the otherwise clear and main function of the document with regard to CNFE. The CSP is a very different entity to CNFE; it is as an existing facility with existing occupiers, the CNF is a regeneration development.
Development at CSP is covered by South Cambridgeshire District Planning Policies. These include matters of permitted use of development, car and cycle parking, quality of design, landscape and sustainability.
There is no reason to add a layer of policy for further development at the CSP, the existing and emerging planning policies give the Planning Authority the ability to assess and only permit high quality and sustainable development.
Trinity College is supportive of the CNFE regeneration but there is no need, nor is it appropriate, to apply policies that are emerging as bespoke for CNFE as blanket policies to a wider area; therefore, the boundary of the AAP should not include the Cambridge Science Park.

Trinity College, Cambridge would support the use of the name 'Cambridge Science Park Station'.

Development at Cambridge Science Park (CSP) is covered by South Cambridgeshire District Planning Policies. These include matters of permitted use of development, car and cycle parking, quality of design, transport, landscape and sustainability.
There is no reason to add a layer of policy for further development at the CSP; the existing and emerging planning policies give the Planning Authority the ability to assess and only permit high quality and sustainable development.
The National Planning Policy Framework supports economic development and encourages its swift delivery. Adding a layer of unnecessary policy would not be in conformity to the NPPF.

The Cambridge Science Park (CSP) is an existing entity and is very different to a regeneration development. The bespoke policies being derived for the CNFE area through site-specific studies should not, and cannot, be so readily applied to CSP.
Trinity College (as owners and custodians of the CSP) is supportive of CNFE but there is no need, nor is it appropriate, to apply policies that are emerging as bespoke for CNFE as blanket policies to a wider area.
