Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019

Representation ID: 167967

Received: 20/07/2019

Respondent: Mr Martin Yeadon

Representation Summary:

FIX A MAIN POINTS OF ACCESS AND PRIMARY STREET
The presentation correctly says "good transport connections will be important in making the new village successful". I agree. Why then is the village not connected directly to the A428? Why will you be making residents travel through lower capacity roads to get out of the village? I object for these reasons. The current road layout will inevitably lead to more traffic on minor roads including those through the local villages rather than getting the best use out of the adjacent major road the A428.
This need changing now before the layout is set in stone.
