The Trumpington Residents' Association is concerned that there seems to be no mechanism for the Councils to control the extent of growth and the risks that high growth brings to the local society and the pressure it places for more homes. There is a risk that if the number of jobs grows at a faster rate than projected, there will be a demand for even more homes than currently planned.

We stress the large capacity for employment development that already exists and challenge the need for CBC to expand into the Green Belt when there are other areas close to CBC that could be used.

There are references to development being permitted outside the Green Belt but this policy makes no reference to development within the Green Belt (page 229). There should be an explicit reference against development in the Green Belt. Note that the proposed expansion of CBC - one of the areas said to be with 'significant opportunities' - would be within the Green Belt (page 230).
