The Transport & Infrastructure, Policy & Funding (TIPF) team thank you for the opportunity to comment on the consultation for the draft Development Framework Supplementary Planning Document for Land North of Cherry Hinton.
We note that Cambridgeshire County Council has submitted a response via the Director of Economy, Transport & Environment and support the specific transport and movement comments already made in this response. To add to this response, in relation to looking at the area in the context of a strategic, long term perspective.
The TIPF team consider important that the Land North of Cherry Hinton site is not brought forward in isolation, and any transport measures proposed should show due concern for any future interventions required to mitigate any potential larger scale development in the area.
Considerations should include ensuring that the design of this site is cognoscente of the requirements of any potential larger site coming forward being accessed, by not adversely impacting upon potential future alignments for road, public transport and active travel links where this is possible and sensible to do so.
We would very much welcome the opportunity to work with Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council to help progress this.
