Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 53953

Received: 04/10/2020

Respondent: Mrs Tamsin Beevor

Representation Summary:

A piecemeal development would be nonsensical. While supporting the general approach it is unclear how this will be implemented and how the plans will lead to a cohesive and strong community. How will the policy result in overcoming the existing barriers between the communities on either side of the railway - both physical and cultural - without addressing the issue of improved vehicular access to the community to the east of the railway along Fen Road.
The format of this consultation makes it difficult to comment as a member of the public. Cambridge has a very high turnover of residents and a plan such as this will inevitably be commented on by different people at each stage of the consultation, this makes it challenging to have an inclusive process that takes into account the changing demographics and views of the community as the plans progress.
