Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Respondent: Mr J Pratt

Representation Summary:

Figure 54 shows a map of proposed strategic green infrastructure initiatives. Area 4 is described as Enhancement of the eastern fens. This appears to contradict the proposed CWWTP relocation to part of that area. The policy needs clarification as it requires all new development to help deliver or contribute to support delivery of the green infrastructure strategic initiative objectives. Putting any development on an area of green belt contradicts this principle, and in this case it is unnecessary as the site of the operationally satisfactory WWTP is not a requirement for the NECAAP (GCP response to AW scoping) .
