Given the significant level of development taking place at Northstowe, it is incredibly insensitive to proposal yet further development in Oakington, potentially destroying the village atmosphere and putting more pressure on already stretched infrastructure.
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.
