The redevelopment of the AAP site should not consider the relocation or reuse of any of the Waste Water Recycling Centre as this is undeliverable due to remediation and relocation costs, land ownership, service demands and the level of committed investment by the operator.
The AAP site should focus on a more appropriate mix of uses which reflect the constraints and market potential and can be genuinely delivered against a background of substantial infrastructure requirement and uncertainty.

It is not appropriate to try and set design standards, including building heights and densities, before understanding the types of use and the quantum of each use that would be required to make the site deliverable/viable. It is accepted that the Draft Local Plan policies should form the baseline for the development of AAP specific policies.

The surrounding community, which this iteration of the AAP has labelled as some of the most disadvantaged in the City, would be best integrated with the site by an increase in lower skilled employment and apprenticeship opportunities.

Paragraph 9.15 highlights the precise issues with development of AAP site to meet current/future demands of R&D market. Paragraph 9.15 advises that due to issues associated with availability of specific sites and demand for space at that time some of the development could take place beyond 2031. We would contend that at current take up rates Cambridge will run out of suitable, available and deliverable R&D floorspace within next five years.
The employment uses listed include office and R&D but is unclear if market research has been undertaken to support sectors listed.
