North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019
Question 40: Should the AAP require 40% of housing to be affordable, including a mix of affordable housing tenures, subject to viability?

Respondent: Trinity College

A matter for that landowner and the Council; but, the affordability of housing close to Cambridge Science Park [CSP] is an issue for CSP employees and is a contributor to the traffic congestion whereby people are forced to live further afield to be able to afford a home and then commute to CSP.

Question 41: Should an element of the affordable housing provision be targeted at essential local workers?

The greater success of the North East area will be achieved if people do live and work in the neighbourhood. Whether this needs to be allocated key worker housing is not yet clear, but the aspiration for what that seeks to achieve is supported.

A deeper review is needed for what housing is required to support the local community and the current and future employees. Trinity College Cambridge would be keen to provide further information and facilitate more understanding of the housing needs of the Cambridge Science Park employees.

There should be a flexible policy basis to allow for the best solution to be provided at that time and not unduly restrict innovation.

An aspirational sustainability agenda is supported so long as the policy framework does allow for bespoke solutions to allow occupier or development needs to be taken into account.

The development industry needs certainty, certainly at the point it embarks on attaining planning permission for a new development. It is not reasonable to have a policy position that could shift following the start of that design and planning process. Any advancing sustainable agenda should be clearly set against clear and transparent policy milestones.

Such matters can often be difficult to provide in practice for many technical or feasibility reasons; however, there should be an aspirational policy agenda around sustainability allowing for some flexibility to cater for individual developments and occupier requirements.
