Comment

Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29505

Received: 23/01/2015

Respondent: Mrs Hazel Smith

Representation Summary:

In Chapter 5, I wanted to comment that I am concerned that an aggregates depot, loading lorries for the A14 improvement work, may cause unnecessarily loud noise for residents of both Chesterton Fen and Milton if the loading is at a level higher than the natural ground level. Whilst I approve of this work being done in a way that does not impact on the traffic on Milton Road, it must not be allowed to impact on people's amenity.

If a left-turn-off left-turn-on route is made South of the A14 west of the railway for lorries taking aggregate to the A14 works, then this road should continue beside the A14 to join with Cowley Road as a dedicated access for heavy lorries headed towards Cambridge, so they avoid the interchange. This could later become a local road parallel with the A14 between here and Fen Ditton junction, with access into Fen Road from the A14 end.
