Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56982

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The Trumpington Residents' Association supports the policy but stresses the need to provide long-term support for community, sports and leisure facilities, continuing beyond the early stages in a development. Based on our experience in the Southern Fringe, it would have been very beneficial to have greater support for the community development process over a longer period than has been possible through the s106 funding and Council budget. This might have helped mitigate the level of anti-social behaviour that has become a problem in the Southern Fringe developments.
