Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31764

Received: 02/10/2017

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

Open spaces proposed for development are too local and won't meet resident's needs for larger open spaces or achieve biodiversity gains. Sites like Wandlebury CP and NT estates (Anglesey Abbey/Wicken Fen) will have increased visitor pressures and are already struggling with capacity and impact on the biodiversity.

This is not factored into the SPD or the suggested mitigation. The AAP concept plan on page 10 shows a new country park highlights the need for this space. Concerned that piecemeal developments will fail to contribute financially towards new large public spaces or offsetting on existing sites. Address directly in the SPD.
