North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 32747

Received: 22/03/2019

Respondent: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:

Multifunctional green spaces and buildings with green features (roofs and walls) can help to integrate biodiversity into a dense urban quarter. However, there will be a need for strategic green infrastructure provision and biodiversity offsetting off site, hence our suggestion of including the river corridor within the AAP, which would then bring it "on-site" and increase options for providing a larger range of experiences and meeting the needs of more residents on-site.
