The Design Process
The design for Aura was developed in close consultation with Cambridge Planning and technical departments. A formal preapplication process started in October 2011. After a design review with the Development Control Committee in April 2012 and a Southern Fringe Exhibition and public consultation in May 2012, a full planning application was submitted in June 2012. During a productive consultation period the project was subject to refinements and a reserved matters application approval was consented in February 2013.
