Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019

Representation ID: 168048

Received: 24/07/2019

Respondent: The National Trust

Representation Summary:

National Trust welcome the indicative land budget of 89 hectares of land for the creation of a Country Park within the development site. Notwithstanding the proposed onsite provision, development on the scale proposed at Bourn should take account of the interface between new communities and their wider surroundings. There is likely to be an increase in off-site recreational visits to adjacent outdoor recreation sites, the closest being the National Trust's Wimpole Hall Estate. National Trust welcome an opportunity to engage in future dialogue with the local authority, developers and community representatives with a view to encouraging sustainable travel patterns and responsible recreational activity.
