If approved, an existing building would be demolished to make way for the new science and technology building
A developer is hoping to build a new eight-storey science and technology building at a science park. Stanhope PLC has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) application to Greater Cambridge Shared Planning for the development of a new building at Cambridge Science Park (CSP).
The site sits within the science park campus, owned by Trinity College Cambridge. If approved, ‘building 163’ would be demolished for the new science and technology building to be built in its place.
The site area is approximately 0.366 hectares and is located on the eastern edge of the science park. The building will have a ground level plus seven storeys (eight storeys in total).
If approved, the building would predominantly be used for offices with dry lab space on the lower floors. With regards to car parking, the screening report states: “Parking for CSP 163 is currently proposed to be undercroft car stackers located within the current parking area of the Site, to accommodate 125 car parks.”
Vehicular access for the proposed development would be via Cambridge Science Park Road from Milton Road. Additionally, 248 cycle parking spaces would also be provided if approved.
The developer wishes to bring forward the development at “as soon as possible”. According to the proposals, construction would start at the site no earlier than autumn 2027 and be completed by 2030.
Cambridge Science Park is an 152-acre site in north Cambridge, founded by Trinity College Cambridge in 1970. It is reportedly the UK’s oldest science park.
