S/RRA/MF Land at Mansel Farm, Station Road, Oakington
The stated justification for removing S/RRA/MF Land at Mansel Farm, Station Road, Oakington from the Green Belt is very weak - and hardly withstands serious challenge. This particularly so given the creation of the town of Northstowe in close proximity where an additional 20 dwellings might plausibly be accommodated.
Were the Oakington site to be developed, there would need to be considerable landscaping to preserve the rural character as viewed from the Busway; the Local Plan should explicitly require this given the prospective loss of Green Belt.
