Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57127

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Maggie Gould

Representation Summary:

With reference to the area covered by Strategic Initiative No 8: I would recommend that this should be extended beyond the A603 to include the Orwell Clunch pit (SSSI, Wildife Trust County Wildlife Site, Local Geological site) and village (which is in 5 broad opportunity zones & includes a chalk stream which is within Strategic Initiative 1).
Collaboration with landowners could improve planting of trees/hedges/meadows along/around the chalk ridge from Orwell to Barrington, providing a coridoor for wildlife linking through from Victoria woods.
