57 room hotel planned for what was the old police station.
Proposes new access onto Glebe Way cutting across shared-use pavement, interrupting it, putting give-way markings on the pavement and dropping the kerbs. Visibility splays are drawn to to the kerb instead of to the back of the pavement.
Proposed pedestrian crossing further south will also place poles, obstructions and potential conflict into the narrow shared-use pavement.
This is a real mess considering that they have plenty of space to widen the pavement and do it right.

5 cycle parking spaces proposed
Cycle parking plan shows 'New Sheffield' Broxap shelter that is 5m wide, though this does not match up with the much smaller box shown on the Site Plan.
Cycle parking is not secured.
Existing accessway to site gives priority to motor vehicles and not people walking or cycling.
Highways has already chimed in to require that the applicants give a 25m visibility splay to the shared-use pavement alongside Babraham Road.

'Cycle parking has been designed above the Council’s current standards- Cycle Parking in Residential Developments (2010). The flats are provided with a covered and secure cycle store integrated into the footprint of the proposed new building and accommodating 17No. Cycles and 1No. Cargo bay.

A further 10No. cycle spaces are proposed to the front of the development for visitors and 9No. Spaces provided in a separate store for the commercial units.'
Initial investigation of the ground floor plan reveals this seems to be true.
They have also claimed to reserve a 2.0m strip of land along the highway boundary for future Eastern Gate related improvements.
No issues detected.

Northstowe Phase 2 strategic engineering elements including cycleways.
See 'Town General Plans'
Interesting that they plan significant stretches of protected & segregated bidirectional cycleway including protected & segregated junctions. Although in some sections these mysteriously turn into shared-use pavements, and it's not clear why, since there's plenty of space...
Cycleway / footway kerb is a 45-degree type, better than 90-degree but still steeper than a forgiving kerb.
There's also a link from Dry Drayton Road included & also an overpass of that road for some reason (part of A14 works?).

Two cycle parking areas, one in the front, one in the rear, each has 5 Sheffield stands.
The spacing is OK at 1m intervals.
The front cycle parking area is secure and covered but the aisle width only appears to be about 900-1000mm instead of the required 1100mm. The door to the secure area is only 800mm wide, narrower than the required 1000mm.
The rear cycle parking area is covered but not secured by any kind of locked door or gate.

Developer Anderson Group is hosting a community planning weekend later this month to give residents the chance to draw up a masterplan for land south of Coldhams Lane.
“It’s about building good quality houses in good quality communities,” the company’s Christian Criscione told the Cambridge Independent ahead of a launch of the project on Tuesday (October 30).
The former quarry and landfill site includes the Cherry Hinton lakes and land parcels to the north of the railway line.
It has been identified by Cambridge City Council as an “area of major change” and the authority has been actively promoting the land for regeneration with “appropriate redevelopment”.
As well as built development such as housing, the council has expressed ideas including the opening of the lakes, environmental improvements, outdoor recreation areas and a new urban country park.
Proposes ten cycle parking spaces from five Sheffield stands. Seems well-spaced. No details on cover or security though.
Vehicle Tracking drawing ATR01 shows potential overlap with parked cycles on site plan drawing A199.

5x 2BR terraced dwellings to replace existing house.
Cycle Parking consists of small sheds in front gardens that require lifting and won't feature independent access.
Front garden doors may be only 85cm wide.
It is not proposed to install additional dropped kerbs, a point that we may wish to strongly support because if any additional dropped kerbs are installed they would enter onto the Elizabeth Way roundabout (and the future GCP Milton Road scheme at the roundabout) introducing problems of highway safety for people walking and cycling at the roundabout.

Cycle parking in rear gardens. Rear Recommend that rear door to dwellings be (un)lockable from the outside.
Plot 1 (3BR) does not have sufficiently sized cycle parking for 3 cycles - only suitable for 2. Should be 2,000mm wide by 2,200mm deep, with a 1,000mm door.
Access doors to the rear gardens are all substandard, less than 1,000mm, in all three plots. Access doors must be (un)lockable from both sides.
Excessive car parking spaces for the 2BR dwellings Plots 2 and 3. There are two parking spaces for each. The new Local Plan allows a maximum of 1.5 parking spaces on average.

'car-free' development (except 1 blue badge space)
4 1BR units targeted at 2 residents and 3 1BR units targeted at a single resident.
The cycle park in the rear garden is almost large enough to contain 3 Sheffield stands + 1 half-usable Sheffield, for 7 spaces. It appears to measure 3400mm in width internally -- would need about 3750mm to truly fit that arrangement within spec.
There is a door on the passageway to reach the rear garden, next to the bins, which is only 850mm wide. Needs to be at least 1000mm according to Section 3.8.1.

Truly one of the stupidest designs I have seen lately.
12 Sheffield stands spaced at 85cm and jammed between two walls thus ensuring there is no possible way to access the stands.
There seem to be some existing wheelbenders that could use replacement.
The (existing) building is still quite short of requirements. With the new extension they will have 32 car parking spaces (maximum is supposed to be 18) and (not really) 38 cycle 'parking' spaces (minimum is supposed to be 60).

Non-compliant bicycle sheds of 2m by 1m design requiring lifting. (vs Diagram 17)
Rear access far too narrow (85cm v 120cm, compare to section 3.7 'Rear Access') with 90 degree turns (compare to Diagram 7) and door width too narrow (75cm v 100cm, compare to section 3.8 'Door width').

We've received some documentation courtesy of somebody who noticed that in Peterborough planning (for some reason) the Rectory Farm between Haslingfield and Hauxton is being considered for a mineral workings site. This would destroy the existing land, including important bridleways and footpaths, and potentially cut off portions of the Haslingfield Greenway and A10 Greenway paths that are being consulted or plan to be consulted. The proposed works would begin in 2022-2024 and last for 9 years. There would be 50 lorry movements a day at the A10 access point, crossing the A10 cycleway.
It appears that the gist of the change is to move more cycle parking to ground level, however there appears to be several inconsistencies in the numbers & plans, and the new drawings show some non-compliant arrangements.

I'm thinking of convening a workshop or possibly simply an informal gathering (possibly at a pub or cafe) to discuss techniques and ideas for responding to planning applications. The timing is right, I think, with the approval of the new Local Plans for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.
All are welcome, whether you already participate or are just interested in getting involved.
I would like to gauge interest first and then we can pick a suitable time and place.
