Option B. Given the reputation of the adjoining Science Park and the likely employment uses within CNFE, it is considered that aspiring to high levels of sustainable design should be expected, although this may in itself be driven as much by occupier demand as policy.

It is agreed that the CNFE may present opportunities for a site wide approach to renewable and low carbon generation. It may be that this is not completely site wide but it should certainly be considered for substantial areas, for example, combined heat and power plants. While phasing may be challenging in terms of capacity in the early stages, consideration to such provision should be made.
With regard to waste processing facilities, further work in this respect would be supported.

The site must be viewed as one comprehensive scheme, carefully planned and phased, with opportunities taken to maximise the capacity of the site but in a sustainable way. Much of the phasing and works will be market driven as and when demand is available and there needs to flexibility to recognise this. This should, however, reflect a medium to long term view, not short term. The transport strategy is a key part of this. Piecemeal and incremental infrastructure improvement should be avoided to bring the whole site forward in a timely and cohesive way.

The CNFE is a bounded by key routes into and around Cambridge. The scale of development proposed here could potentially put significant pressure on these key routes if the infrastructure is not right in terms of approach and/or timing. This could affect not just the CNFE but existing traffic as well and so impact the objective to keep traffic to existing levels...
