We agree with expanding Cambourne further into a vibrant town given the new East West Rail station which will make it a well-connected area. The significant improvement in public transport will enhance the services available in the village of Caxton. There is support for continuing development at the new settlements of Northstowe, Waterbeach and Bourn Airfield allocated in previous plans although it is not considered realistic that faster housing delivery rates take place at the new towns of Northstowe and Waterbeach. We object to very limited amount of development in the rural area with further development needed in order to support the vitality of villages.
