Respondent: Cambridge Cycling Campaign
We support the need for high-quality design that positively contributes to Cambridge heritage and note that as cycling is an established part of Cambridge culture, creating streets which promote cycling for all will help build a community that reflects the wider city. Buildings that are considered from every aspect including their impact on views, creation of wind-tunnel effects, perceived and actual community safety and human-scale streetscape will help create an attractive place for people to walk and cycle through. Cycle parking should be well designed and integrated into the development so that it is easy to find and use and does not cause obstruction to footways.
