Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56818

Received: 05/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs C Hough

Representation Summary:

The proposed area has repeatedly flooded, with a significant amount of water sitting in the field during the winter of 2020. It would also increase traffic on Water Lane which has already seen an increase following the large Cottenham development.
