AMOUNT, DENSITY AND HEIGHTS

1.The density of development: the number of houses/buildings/extent of the development are completely inappropriate to this rural area, as are the proposals for 6-8 storey buildings. The whole character of the existing village and local area will be irreparably damaged. High-rise has no place here.
2. Relationship to existing village: there appears to be little open space or demarcation in the areas adjacent to the village.
3. Access, transport, unacceptable levels of disruption: The traffic through Waterbeach is already at intolerable levels and increasing rapidly. There is nothing in the plan to suggest an acceptable alleviation of this situation.
