Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57632

Received: 11/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Jennifer Conroy

Representation Summary:

Housing targets for Greater Cambridge are over ambitious in the plan period and bring a high level of risk to Greater Cambridge and the Vision and Aims of the Local Plan. Minimum/Medium Growth Options can be justified with the known limitations of sustainability. Greater focus on bringing sustainable transport initiatives to the fore in the plan period from outside the Greater Cambridge Area eg improved rail links, Newmarket /Ipswich are recommended. Housing development at NEC is not supported, a focus on employment growth in the area only supported by sustainable public transport within the City and wider Region is recommended.
