Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56888

Received: 08/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Jennifer Prince

Representation Summary:

The over-exploitation of the chalk stream aquifer is a massive environmental issue – already, even without all this extra development. The Local Plan does explain the issues but I urge you to do everything possible to safeguard this habitat, including informing residents how we can put pressure on government.
“Proposed policy direction” – “unless demonstrated impracticable” is too weak, giving developers a let-out.
