The balance between dwellings and job opportunities has be improved but we are still unconvinced that the plans are practical

The assumption that the dwellings will be occupied by people working locally for a development arising over many years. Many may move their originally but records show most people now work for several employers in a career and with many job opportunities in the local area it is unrealistic to expect over time that all residents will work in the local businesses. This assumption ignores that two people in a partnership may choose the location to suit the locality of one partner with the other working elsewhere.

The breakdown of this assumption means more travelling into the NEECAP area for work, and given the availability of affordable housing , even with the new developments, may not be on the two public transport links and so increase the car volumes on the already at capacity Milton Road section from the A15 junction

Furthermore, the expectation of a halving of the incoming vehicles peak time demands for the Cambridge Science Park is not credible.

The provision of informal open space (especially as Milton Country Park has been declared to be already fully utilised and so not available to be counted for NEECAP) and even more the lack of serious formal space, such as not even a single football pitch)

All of which indicates a need to further scale back the expectations for new housing and jobs within NEECAP. This alters to balance of the Plan
