Huntingdonshire District Council agree with the proposal for future development at Cambourne. Careful consideration will have to be given to the timing of delivery in light of a new railway station (part of the East
West Rail scheme to connect Oxford with Cambridge) and the Cambourne to Cambridge public transport scheme being brought forward by the Greater Cambridge Partnership. It is noted that there is currently no identified fall-back position if these infrastructure schemes are not brought forward.
Timely delivery in combination with these schemes will enable increased public transport use, provide a lower emissions scenario for the allocation and minimise the impacts of increased commuting and congestion on the A428. Huntingdonshire District Council agree that the scheme should be a landscape led one to minimise impacts in the wider landscape and to have a focus both on place making for the expanded town and delivery of the wider vision for green infrastructure.
