Whilst recognising the need for new homes, we are concerned that there is a spiral of development that will continue to put pressure on housing. Limiting commercial development could break this spiral. In any event the aim of providing policies protecting green spaces, important for people’s quality of life, and protecting the qualities that makes Cambridge City a great and unique place to live are vital policy aims. The setting of the historic centre, and its relationship with the countryside with a network of green spaces complementing the built environment must be preserved
