Whilst developing the brownfield site, the masterplan should safeguard a route for a road across into Fen Road Chesterton either via a new level crossing or a bridge over the railway, to link across at an appropriate point in the road system on the other side, avoiding residential areas already developed by Travellers there. Whilst there is currently no plan to fund such a route, this will be needed later. The aim to accommodate a new Household Waste Recycling Centre here is misguided and the current site at Butt Lane is much more suitable.

Objective 6:
Links across the railway to Fen Road, and the foot/cycle bridge across the River Cam to link to Abbey are very important. Special attention should be given to a direct route for cyclists from Abbey to the station.

St Johns Innovation Centre and the other business premises on that 'teardrop' site and Cambridge Business Park do not need redevelopment or intensification. They should be left out of the AAP or have policies applied that recognise this.

We would like to see more control over intensification of uses on the Cambridge Science Park, with mature trees retained, and the consequences for traffic on Milton Road considered alongside the intensification around the new station. Perhaps the Science Park is a more suitable area for some residential development now?

In 6.10 you say "there are no recorded instances of groundwater flooding within CNFE". Milton Parish Council was always concerned with the high water table South of the A14, and flooding on Chesterton Sidings and Fen Road Chesterton area. The very important First Public Drain provides for the whole of NE Cambridge (from Huntingdon Road eastwards), and Orchard Park, not just "the surrounding area".
Please consider safeguarding the old surface water drain under the sidings (and existing railway) straight through to Camside Farm, which could be a cheaper route for a sewage connection under the railway to Fen Road residences.

We would like to see the Waste Water Treatment Centre moved away or significantly modernised to stop any odour-nuisance to neighbours. The aggregates area in this option effectively blocks any possible level crossing to Fen Road. No residential development, underexploits the potential for improvement. Not enough green space - even office developments need "lungs".
