Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 54114

Received: 04/10/2020

Respondent: Mrs Anne Wildman

Representation Summary:

I know you want transport to be as sustainable as possible but car parking is already stretched with the result that cars are parked in Milton with workers walking over the Jane Coston bridge to work. This is already causing problems in the village and this over development will not help. Will the walking / cycling / public transport links be in place before any development takes place? You are also making the assumption that the majority of the inhabitants will work in the locality and therefore able to work with walking / cycling distance. It will be a very delicate balance and I can't see the evidence that tells me you have the answers.
Will people want to live on a former sewage farm? Removing the WTP to a green belt site without ensuring that AW use the profits made, to ensure that the new site is as unobtrusive and disruptive as possible to communities that have already borne the proximity of the WTP. It's called passing the buck and doesn't indicate a responsible developing authority.
