Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57475

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Catherine Martin

Representation Summary:

This policy is being contravened by allowing an industrial scale development on the Green Belt at Honey Hill. This development will have 20 metre towers and much of the plant will be lit 24/7 causing disturbance to wildlife. Habitat will be destroyed by construction traffic and disturbance, including rare insects at the site. There is a serious contamination risk to Quy Fen SSSI which is being minimised by the developer. Flood risk is increasing with climate change and this is also being minimised. BNG is totally meaningless. The Wicken Fen Vision will be compromised.
