Summary: Land adjacent to Babraham (HELAA site 40297)
Object. Our Socioeconomic assessment of proposed employment numbers shows that growth has been underestimated, we consider more realistic job numbers are higher. In turn, higher number of jobs means additional dwellings need to be found to accommodate this growth. Provision of those dwellings within southern cluster will ensure capacity for jobs in sustainable locations is maximised and ‘in commuting’ is limited, to limit carbon emissions.
Site at Babraham is appropriate location for growth and will deliver significant benefits across the three strands of sustainability. Vision and masterplan addresses key technical issues and design solution demonstrates how various constraints at and adjacent to site can be mitigated where appropriate and/or turned into opportunities.
The reference is 40297 (Land adjacent to Babraham, CB22 3AF, CB22 3AP, CB22 3AG, CB22 3AZ). The boundary has not changed. Please see document attached S/JH Comments (1of 4 submissions due to high level of documents).
