Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019

Representation ID: 168054

Received: 26/07/2019

Respondent: Tracy Collins

Representation Summary:

1D MANAGING PRIVATE AND SERVICE VEHICLES

This plan will necessitate increased traffic and a possible additional busway down St Neots rd. If so, the line of mature trees (over 60 years old) will be chopped down.
How can you justify that now, when we know how trees affect our health and environment?

These trees have been there absorbing noise and pollution for decades. Any plan that involves adding MORE traffic, but removing mature trees is entirely irresponsible. Fences are no substitute at all, as you well know.

It's hard to be vibrant when you've been awake all night listening to traffic and wheezing.
