Representation ID: 57931

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Ickleton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Ickleton PC suggests a moratorium on large development proposals in the upper Cam valley from Stapleford to the boundary with Essex until impacts of developments (including cumulative impacts) given permission in recent years or planned for in this and the adopted Local Plan are properly considered following the rollout of such developments. E.g., Huawei, Genome Campus, Sawston housing, Unity Campus, Whittlesford Parkway Area. This is essential if you are serious about protecting the River Cam and the landscape around it. Under the Duty to Cooperate with Uttlesford DC protection of the upper Cam valley should extend into that District.
