Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57801
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Coton Parish Council
As a consequence of the last local plan there are 35,000 housing units in the pipeline. We don’t understand why this plan has exceeded the government target. Growth in Cambridge is outstripping infrastructure in transport, water supply, wastewater management and the effects on facilities within the historic city. Coton Parish Council is concerned about the level of growth along the A428 corridor and on the W and NWC site. The greenbelt and natural environment of the Coton Corridor are vital to the wellbeing of the population and should not be turned into a new transport corridor to serve unsustainable growth.
