Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57802
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
A major transport consideration need to take place before any proposed expansion. Rural areas must not be segregated from Cambridge particularly where Jobs and Services nearby are none skill set variable.
The expansion of some rural areas (Cottenham in this example) has already been agreed but will suffer without the core B1049 route through Histon been addressed.
Further more, population projections used to justify the building of new schools must be looked at again within the rural area where a 2nd choice school could be more than a walk away hence making Car use more of a necessity.
