The Expansion of Cambridge Biomedical CampusDesign and Access Statement5 THE PROPOSAL5.1 Having outlined how the design has evolved for the expansionof the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, this section considersthe design approach within the context of the new requirementsfor outline applications.5.2 The new requirements for outline planning applications requireconsideration of the following:• Use• Amount of developmentappropriate, for mitigation measures to be identified, inaccordance with the EIA Regulations.5.8 This planning framework will guide and constrain thedevelopment over future years.5.9 It is commonly accepted that parameters can be specified inplan and textual format and this document includes a series ofParameter Plans with text which both explains the contents ofthe plans themselves and provides more detail than can bespecified in plan form.5.10 The Plans reflect the worst case scenario to allowParameter Plan referencenumberPP1PP2PP3TitleLocation of Land UsesMaximum Building Heights andMaximum Building EnvelopesMaximum Building HeightsSection• Indicative layout• Scale parameters• Indicative access points.5.3 This document now considers these issues in turn to ensurethat the proposals are clearly defined in terms of proposedEnvironmental Assessment: they do not in isolation representthe anticipated build scenario.
