Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56922

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council

Representation Summary:

(Transport) On Page 18 the definition of sustainable development is very welcome but given the importance of sustainability in the document we feel that this section should have greater prominence. There is also a significant infrastructure requirement to deliver the proposed Local Plan, so it is going to be a challenge to deliver this in a sustainable way.
Welcome the emphasis on active and public transport, and planning development at sites where public transport is the natural choice. We would recommend clear reference to ensuring new future development meets LTN 1/20 and other appropriate policies and measures.
