Definitive line between odour zones defining uses within the CNFE. The AAP should consider individual applications on merit.
The odour footprint should be updated.
Access road serving the B2 uses to the north of Cowley Road could be separate from the B1 use, possibly with access from the Milton Road end avoiding B1 use.
The heavy goods vehicle access route is understandable but may not be deliverable.
The deliverability of the eastern proposed B2, B8 and Sui Generis uses are unsure as this area is in multiple ownerships and legal interests.
The principle is supported and the dedicated heavy goods vehicle access route could be a positive provided that the landowners can agree suitable terms.
The relocation of the station car park further north within the site together with a multi-storey car park could possibly allow greater residential development to be included in this scheme, maximising the site's sustainability.
The Guided Busway makes it difficult to fully integrate the Nuffield Road and Trinity Hall Industrial Estates with the rest of the CNFE area. The multiple ownerships and legal interests make this challenging to deliver.

The improved links with Cambridge Business Park are good but need improving by integrating with the wider CNFE.
The heavy goods vehicle access route is understandable but difficult to deliver as it serves other land owners not sit owner (City Council). The principle is supported if landowners can agree suitable terms and it can better serve B2/B8 uses.
This option should allow greater residential development: maximising the density; improving the sustainability aspects of the area; increasing the possibility of some employees not travelling to work by car, helping to meet the intended target of reducing car use by employees within the City. The odour footprint should be updated.

High density development requires sufficient open space for people to be able to be able to relax, get outside and exercise as they do not necessarily have their own personal space to undertake such activity. Good quality design in this respect is very important to cater for a range of uses. Careful design to ensure that the tall buildings set close to the road do not create a corridor of brick and concrete without sufficient landscaping or open space to break this up.

Support. It is important to optimise density in City like Cambridge given the pressures on land and desire to reduce travel. This is not a City centre location though and so although density should be high, it should reflect the surrounding edge of city location, allowing for things such as open space and cycle/pedestrian routes to reflect contemporary provision in these respects.

Option B or Option C would be acceptable and would optimise density across the site.
