Question 9
Representation ID: 30135
Received: 02/02/2015
Respondent: Grosvenor Developments
Agent: AECOM
See attachment [below]
Question 9 Response
Principles C and D do not make any reference to residential under Objective 2. Principle C is too commercially focussed and could work against the need for balanced mix of uses to deliver the most sustainable place that is well integrated with adjoining communities and provides real benefit to those communities. A principle relating to the new residential community envisaged within the AAP area would provide better balance.
Objective 5 / Principles I and J - Reference to mixed use development should be included; zoning approach could work against well designed buildings.
Objective 6 / Principles K and L - Stronger connections required to wider area for effective integration. Highly zoned mono use land blocks works against the objective for a well-integrated neighbourhood.
Objective 8/ Principle P - Requires a mixed community - current imbalance of land uses will increase carbon footprint, encourage unsustainable travel behaviour and add to emissions.

As noted on P35 the scale of development means that option 1 does not deliver successful regeneration of the wider area, maximise sustainable urban living opportunities or suitable density of development required to exploit the significant investment in the transport. No opportunity for urban living.

As noted on P37 the scale of development means that option 2 does not deliver successful regeneration of the wider area, maximise sustainable urban living opportunities or suitable density of development required to exploit the significant investment in the transport. Sub-optimal opportunity for urban living.

Question 12
Representation ID: 30138
Received: 02/02/2015
Respondent: Grosvenor Developments
Agent: AECOM
The imbalance between residential and employment uses coupled with the focus on industrial and storage development will not lead to the successful regeneration of the wider area. Transport investment not exploited. Appropriate scale of urban living not supported.
Waste water consolidation does not provide for enhanced balance of uses and delivery of place that supports sustainable urban living with well balanced mix of uses. Uses proposed will not allow for a viable rationalisation.

Received: 02/02/2015
Respondent: Grosvenor Developments
Agent: AECOM
This provides for an exacerbated imbalance between residential and employment uses and coupled with the focus on industrial and storage development will not lead to the successful regeneration of the wider area. Transport investment not exploited.
Appropriate scale of urban living not supported.
Sub-optimal (unviable) land uses provided on valuable site provided by WWTW relocation.
The new condition created and inappropriate emphasis of B2/B8 uses within City boundary does not maximise the opportunity created by the complete re-location of the WWTW.

Question 14
Representation ID: 30140
Received: 02/02/2015
Respondent: Grosvenor Developments
Agent: AECOM
Yes.
Promotion of sustainable urban living that fully realises the potential of planned infrastructure investment demands a re-appraisal of the balance of uses between employment and residential. More residential development should be incorporated.
There is potential for greater mixing of land uses at higher densities to optimise development potential and create a more vibrant community with greater levels of activity throughout the day and evening.
This approach has greater potential to deliver the vision of a vibrant and successful mixed use neighbourhood as envisaged.

A bespoke approach is required here to respond to the significance of the opportunity, the magnitude of investment and the particular constraints. This can be guided by the Cambridge Local Plan Proposed Submission.

We support the high density approach to respond to the transportation investment. A bespoke approach is required to respond to the particular conditions, within and adjoining the site.

Bespoke approach to the area needs to be established within the AAP. We support higher density development in this location, responding to transport investment.
