Respondent: Urban&Civic Ltd

The improvements to Cowley Road are supported but sustainable modes of travel along the Milton Road corridor must be catered for to allow reliable journey times from new and existing communities. Any new junction arrangements with Milton Road must be shown to deliver benefits to all but with reference to the hierarchy of users.

Access solutions that look to segregate heavy vehicle traffic from more vulnerable users are supported but designs and movement strategies must ensure that the future wholesale redevelopment of the area is acknowledged.

Bus priority measures are being explored along Milton Road and this is supported in principle. The potential to intelligently use carriageway space in the vicinity of the Science Park should also be explored to respond to changes in tidal demand.

Support. The efficient use of land is supported in this key Cambridge North location where strong sustainable transport links are already in place and will be enhanced between existing and new communities, including Waterbeach New Town.

No preference on the three options but it is relevant that car use can be further discouraged by ensuring sustainable links are secured to existing and planned communities, including Waterbeach New Town. A relationship between accessibility and parking provision is a sensible and pragmatic approach. Any adopted parking standards need to consider the volume of vehicles that this could in turn generate and the implications for traffic and transport along the important Milton Road corridor.

Option B (Higher Standards) is supported because this would be more likely to maximise the potential for employees and visitors to travel by bike, for example between Waterbeach New Town and the CNFE Area.

There are economic and environmental benefits is ensuring CNFE has sustainable links not only to existing residential neighbourhoods but also planned new communities. The AAP should set out how CNFE will contribute to securing and/or enhancing cycle links to the proposed Waterbeach New Town. Specifically cycle links along the River Cam, through Milton, between the Jane Coston Cycle Bridge and the CNFE and also along any future bus priority routes - especially along the Chisholm Trail to connect to the future busway links under the A14.

The proposed development of the CNFE is generally supported and the opportunity to comment is welcomed. Comments have been made to ensure clear references are made on the opportunities to link CNFE area with Waterbeach New Town.
The proposed development of the CNFE is generally supported and the opportunity to comment is welcomed. A common thread of U&C's comments is that the CNFE AAP should make clear references to the opportunities for connecting CNFE with Waterbeach New Town, from the vision through to objectives principles and specific policies. The next stage of the AAP process should investigate the possibilities to maximising the sustainable transport links. Waterbeach New Town will comprise a new community of over 20,000 people 5 km to the north of CNFE and it would be a missed opportunity not to maximise the connections between the proposed New Town and CNFE. It is also important that the emerging AAP emphasizes the wide strategic opportunities of the greater Cambridge area, in particular the economic and physical relationships between north Cambridge and the A10 corridor.
