Policy S/C/ER: 1-99 Ekin Road and 1-8 Ekin Walk

This site has been put forward by the Cambridge Investment Partnership for market and affordable housing. The site is currently in residential use but a number of the existing buildings are of poor quality and out-dated. Redevelopment of the site would enable new high quality housing to be provided in a sustainable location, given its close proximity to local/neighbourhood centres in Wadloes Road and Barnwell Road. There is an area of protected open space to the western boundary of the site which contributes positively to the character of the wider neighbourhood and is to be retained as a matter of principle.

New residential and commercial development at a density that is higher than what is typically found in the surrounding context. It does not mean high-rise development.

development could be accommodated on the site, provided that the development is designed sympathetically to the existing context, including existing trees and built context. 

We will consider all comments while developing the next version of the

A plan for the future development of a local area, drawn up by the local planning authority in consultation with the community. In law this is described as the development plan documents adopted under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. A local plan can consist of either strategic or non-strategic policies, or a combination of the two.
