Respondent: Waterbeach Charity
Policy WAT2
The Waterbeach Charity Trustees supports the concept of a Pedestrian/ Cycle route as outlined in policy WT2.
It does however wish to point out that the buying of private land to achieve this aim would make the project very expensive.
The land within the existing railway boundaries should be the first option.
The buying of Charity land, private gardens, grazing land and agricultural land would no doubt involve compulsory purchase and could make the concept unachievable.
The Charity would have no objections to the use of railway land alongside the railway for the purpose of a cycle way.
