FIX A MAIN POINTS OF ACCESS AND PRIMARY STREET/ 2.4 ACCESS, MOVEMENT AND CONNECTIVITY
The settlement needs direct access to the A428 and should NOT have direct access to the Broadway.
The document states that "The SPD does not explore a direct, grade access to the A428 from the new village as no strategic case for this requirement has been made."
This is ridiculous - why has this option not been explored?
Bourn has always made its objections to access on the Broadway clear, and has had received representations that this would not be the case - other than limited access for bus and cycle/foot traffic. What was true for Cambourne is still the case for the BAD. Other settlements have access to main roads such as this with closely spaced junctions - so this is not an argument that holds water. The inclusion of access to the Broadway will lead to increased traffic on the Broadway to the environmental detriment to people living on the Broadway and increased difficulty and congestion exiting and exiting the village.
