Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 56988
Received: 09/12/2021
Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association supports the policy but stresses the importance of build quality and the inability of the Councils to intervene and enforce planning conditions when developers build sub-standard homes, based on our experience with the developments in the Southern Fringe where the quality has been very poor in many cases.
This draft policy seems focussed on external appearance and not on 'live-ability'. A nice-looking roof line is one thing, a properly installed roof is quite another.
