Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 54021
Received: 04/10/2020
Respondent: Mrs Tamsin Beevor
The policy fails to provide any wildlife corridor linking the Science Park area to the north west of Milton Road with the wider area. The high cost relative to a moderate gain should not be an adequate reason for dismissing the options for developing 2 green crossings of Milton Road.
10% biodiversity gain in a brown filed site lacks ambition and at a time when we are recognising the ecological as well as climate emergency this is inadequate . If this limited target is only achievable by offsite enhancements then this indicates that the proposed development is too dense for the site.
It is unclear what the management plan for a LNR on Chesterton Fen would be. This must be adequately funded in the long term and not left to chance and the good will of the local community.
