Totally inappropriate – will detract from beauty of Cambridge and surrounding flat fenland landscape
What guarantees are there that all developers will not opt for 13 storey, high density to maximise profit?
Variance from Local Plan – why this variance is important enough to be allowed is not explained.
Highest density and thereby highest buildings congregated at one site (Cowley Road) leading to lack of “community”

Cowley Road centre appears to have highest density and highest buildings but served by fewer facilities
Where is the secondary school – children grow up?
Little detail on what the “services” are at the Science Park centre – do “services” imply those for vehicular travel? Currently Milton Road jammed with cars.
What guarantees are there that the developments will not become crime-ridden, sterile areas like that at Cambridge Station which was designed to be a similar wonderful mix?

Assumes everyone is fit and active
Good connections to Cambridge North Station and Science Park but not realistic for travel to South and further east of city, e.g. Biomedical Centre
Access to green spaces reduced by this development
Too many residents for Milton Park to cater
Local roads will not cope with increased vehicular traffic
