Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report seeking its agreement to the joint Cambridge Northern Fringe Area Action Plan (AAP) Issues and Options 2 and supporting documents being published for consultation.

 

The Leader expressed the view that the consultation exercise should be promoted specifically among stateholders. Councillor Dr. Tumi Hawkins requested that the questions in the consultation document be set out separately from the main text. Councillor Hazel Smith commended the document highly readable. She did point out however that the images needed to be at a higher resolution, and that Figure 3.3 (map of existing community facilities) should also indicate the presence of such facilities as Tesco and Milton Community Centre.

 

The Joint Director for Planning and Economic Development stressed the importance of the AAP being found to be sound. It must provide for the water treatment works being relocated.

 

Councillor Brian Milnes (Vice-Chairman, Scrutiny and Overview Committee) said that the Committee had identified, as significant, the issues of transport (including car-free areas), infrastructure, permeability through the site, and capacity at Cambridge North railway station.

 

After further discussion, including discussion about style and language, Cabinet
