Support is given to the identification of the need to provide good quality affordable housing in accessible locations and the promotion of sustainable and active travel.

If the Plan is going to meet the wellbeing and social inclusion aspirations identified, then there needs to be a better balance to ensure that affordable housing and sustainable travel is provided across the urban and rural areas of Greater Cambridge.
