Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56511

Received: 15/11/2021

Respondent: Mrs Catherine Martin

Representation Summary:

How will you provide water for massive amount of building? This should not be passed onto the water companies to manage. The chalk aquifer is obviously being over abstracted. Who wants to live in an area where the Green Belt is built over? What percentage of new housing is owned by people living in Cambridge as opposed to overseas ownership for investment? What percentage of people live in Cambridge but commute to London? Developers are building ugly, unsustainable, mansions all over Cambridgeshire. We need much higher standards for the 21st century.
