Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57806

Received: 11/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Jon Pavey

Representation Summary:

Unfortunate the Opportunity Mapping Final Report unavailable.
North Cambridge Green Space should surely also cover the area south west of Histon, bounded by the A14 and the Oakington-Dry Drayton road. There are four woodlands with high levels of community use (two designated Local Green Space & Important Natural Habitat in the Neighbourhood Plan); also meadows. The footpaths have high use for amenity. This is already a green lung but there is opportunity here to also contribute to doubling nature: for example, the density of farmland birds is lower here than on the north side of Histon.
