Question 20
Representation ID: 30271
Received: 02/02/2015
Respondent: Turnstone Estates Limited
Agent: Carter Jonas
Generally Turnstone can support the proposed approach but consider that it should be acknowledged that employment uses at CNFE can include pure offices as well as hybrid buildings, and buildings aimed at particular sectors and technologies. Flexibility will be a key consideration and it will be important to ensure that CNFE can respond to developments in the market place and in the economy in an appropriate way.

Yes, Turnstone do not consider there to be any particular reason for protecting employment uses beyond normal planning rules. It is considered that the market will determine what is appropriate over time, and it is not considered very likely that there will be any great pressure to achieve non-commercial uses on sites in the CNFE.

Turnstone do not consider it strictly necessary to consider serving an Article 4 direction. Accordingly they would oppose this notion.

Question 23c

Turnstone take the view and have stated elsewhere that it is not strictly necessary to include the Cambridge Science Park in the AAP. In light of this, there does not seem to be any reason in Turnstone's view as to why there should be a policy approach for the Science Park. It is perfectly possible for appropriate intensification at the Science Park to take place applying established planning policies.

Turnstone does not object per se to the possibility of some or all of the Nuffield Road estate being redeveloped for housing if that is considered locally to be a more appropriate use for the area having regard to access constraints. Turnstone however notes that it is not essential to develop this land for housing and the City Council is not reliant on it to meet its housing targets in the emerging Local Plan.

Turnstone however notes that it is not essential to develop this land for housing and the City Council is not reliant on it to meet its housing targets in the emerging Local Plan. It is noted that one of the suggested provisos to the possible development of this land for housing is that uses should be relocated within CNFE. Two points can be made here. The first is that it may be the case that not all occupiers of the Nuffield Road estate wish to move at all and they ought not to be forced to. The second point is that even if they are willing to be displaced it should not be automatically assumed that they must be relocated onto the CNFE site. For a host of reasons that may not be appropriate or necessary.

Question 26d

Respondent: Turnstone Estates Limited
Agent: Carter Jonas
Turnstone takes the view that there could well be scope and demand for a hotel within the CNFE area. It is not clear however why this would need to be situated "around the new railway station" and there could be perfectly sound reasons why it should be located more centrally within the CNFE area and not to one side by the station.

Turnstone does not object outright to housing being delivered at CNFE but is somewhat indifferent to whether there is a need for it and whether it should be pursued. It should certainly not be pursued to anything exceeding the level indicated in the current version of the AAP. If there is to be housing flexibility of tenure should be accepted including affordable housing.

Turnstone does not immediately see the rationale for student accommodation at CNFE. Typically student housing is provided more centrally in Cambridge, making it extremely accessible for the institutions attended by the students. CNFE should be focused on employment uses and other complementary uses that will aid the overall sustainability of the development.
