There are other constraints or areas of mitigation included in the document that may need additional clarification or guidance. These include; soil contamination, noise, air quality, airport equipment relocations and impact on residential amenity as well as electrical interference. These needs to be addressed in the SPD.

Aircraft noise, there is a current application for relocation of engine testing shed up near the Newmarket Road but approval of Wing development was conditional on Marshalls moving it. Therefore, consideration of the noise and pollution implications needs to take place.
In addition, we understand that the aircraft flight direction beacon at the southern end of the runway could also be a concern and whether tall buildings (like four stories) at the southern side of the airport would affect their operation. This too should be clarified.

Section 5.73 and 5.74- are minimum requirements. We would want to see optimum.

The document mentions the 40% affordable housing policy, but states that this is subject to viability. This should not be negotiable, especially given the affordable housing crisis in Cambridge. Alternative ownership options should also be explored. Due to the location and proximity of the site to employment centres, a key worker option could also be beneficial. The SPD must stress the importance of achieving 40% affordable.

Comparison and lessons learned should be given from the newer developments around Cambridge, such as Eddington, NW Cambridge site, Trumpington, CB1, etc. to understand what has worked and what has not. Lessons should be learnt and mistakes not repeated, especially as the traffic and congestion of the area is already considered high. In addition, the design and materials palette need to be contextual and based on local vernacular, not just contemporary because that is the trend at the moment.

Cambridge Past, Present & Future have participated in both community consultations held to inform the drafting of the SPD for the Land north of Cherry Hinton site (LNCH). We welcome the ongoing consultation to help inform the development of this site and the draft SPD as a mechanism for providing a framework for future applications and proposals. Whilst the site has been considered appropriate for future development, it is not without its constraints, which are highlighted in the draft SPD.
