Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

This site represents an opportunity to address the shortage of affordable housing that threatens the City's economic success.

CambridgePPF welcomes the commitment to 40% affordable housing. However, as the site is Council owned it could sustain a higher proportion, even up to 100% affordable.

The Mill Road Depot site could become a model for innovative/creative options for affordable housing.
The SPD mentions exploring co-op housing, perhaps even intermediary dwellings, social rental schemes.

CambridgePPF are very encouraged by the draft SPD document for the Mill Road Depot site and emphasise the significant potential the site holds. Highly recommend investigation of above options to best utilise the site.
