North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

The sustainable approach towards car parking and the focus on non-car transport is broadly supported. However consideration needs to be given towards the requirements of the industrial uses at Nuffield Road. These uses need to be conveniently located and given the industrial nature of the businesses, car parking and access for various forms of vehicles (HGV's etc.) needs to be considered.

The concept of encouraging non-car modes of travel is supported. However consideration for the business requirements of the industrial uses on Nuffield Road is important and in order for these businesses to function car parking needs to be provided for staff and customers.

As acknowledged within the Consultation Document, the existing businesses within the Nuffield Road Industrial Estate and Trinity Hall Farm Industrial Estate area are important to the Cambridge economy. If the uses are to remain in situ, careful consideration does need to be given to the compatibility with adjoining uses such as residential.
The Ridgeons use needs to be located within Cambridge and is an important business for the Cambridge Sub-region.

It is considered that the AAP will need to identify and define a strategy for key sites/ uses to be relocated, but maintain flexibility for others. At present limited information has been provided on relocation. However the needs of the existing industrial uses on Nuffield Road need to be carefully considered. If Ridgeons are to be relocated, any new site needs to be located within Cambridge, preferably within or close to the NEC Area. Ridgeons is an important and viable local business which needs to be in the locality.

There should be no requirement for the Council's to consider use of CPO powers and this should not be included within the AAP.

Yes, the successful delivery of the NEC will require a coordinated approach. This will need to consider a range of issues including the potential relocation of the existing industrial uses on Nuffield Road including Ridgeons.
