6.2 INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN
* The size and scope of the new town will invariably increase demand on popular countryside recreation sites in the greater Cambridge area. These sites are already under pressure due to high visitor numbers. We would like see the SPD include a requirement for the new town to support those sites most likely to be impacted (e.g. Wicken Fen, Milton Country Park) or to help fund new sites (e.g. Cambridge Sports Lake). We are con-cerned about the impact (e.g. of dog walkers) on local conservation sites such as the Cam Washes and generally the management of walkers/cycl ists beyond the boundaries of the new town. The SPD should set out an expectation that developers will submit a plan that sets out how they will mitigate (or compensate) for these impacts. Given that the Wicken Vision Project and Cambridge Sports Lake proposals are on the doorstep of this development we would expect the development of the New Town to support either, or both, of these projects.
