Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57017

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: KWA Architects

Representation Summary:

Land to the south of Babraham Road and east of site H1c, Sawston (HELAA site 40509)

Comment. Whilst the approach is acceptable, we would urge the Council to consider altering the parish boundaries between Sawston and Babraham, where new development on the eastern edge of Sawston currently lies in Babraham parish but clearly forms part of the village of Sawston and makes use of Sawston’s amenities. We would urge the land identified under site allocation 40509 to be included within the revised Sawston Parish boundaries after which the proposed guided busway will form a natural division between the two parishes and a suitable location for the new parish boundary.
