Greater Cambridge Statement of Community Involvement Draft Consultation 2023
Representation ID: 200041
Received: 29/11/2023
Respondent: Linton Parish Council
Sections 4.14 to 4.16: What is the threshold for this to apply? Linton did not see consultation with our youth.
Section 4.17: Linton had issues with the Bartlow Rd developer not communicating with the PC or the residents and not adapting the development to meet local needs. The Horseheath Road developer disregarded PC concerns re the flow of surface water and the consequences were significant. How will the councils ensure that developers take all material concerns on board?

4.17
This did not happen for either of the 2 recent large developments in Linton. In the case of Bartlow Road, the developer refused to meet residents or the PC until after their RM application had been submitted, and only then grudgingly. Even at this stage they could have incorporated changes to meet local need, but they chose to ignore everything they were presented with. In the case of the Horseheath Road development, LPC were consulted about the look of the houses and streets. Some of our concerns were addressed, but our major concern over the flow of surface water was ignored with disastrous consequences. How will the councils ensure that developers take all material concerns on board?
