Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57461
Received: 10/12/2021
Respondent: Huntingdonshire District Council
The policy proposes that support is given to the “development / enhancement and safeguarding of local delivery hubs that help consolidate deliveries into Cambridge and reduce vehicle traffic, where they accord with other policies in the plan, provided they do not cause unacceptable impacts on Greater Cambridge’s strategic road networks”.
Consideration should be given to how unacceptable impacts to the strategic networks are to be assessed to ensure a clear approach for developers. Further detail would be useful for surrounding districts in order to assess the knock-on impacts of such developments, especially in terms of congestion and carbon emissions.
