Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
I would like to register my strong opposition to the exploitation of this important Greenbelt site as it requires demonstration of exceptional circumstances which clearly is not the case here.
Shelford is NOT a transport hub as bus and rail services into Addenbrookes are infrequent and indirect. It is misguided to assume that a high proportion of people would (i) work at the hospital and (ii) commute into the hospital using public transport.
The proposed development would result in hundreds of additional car journeys per day along a key designated cycle route for children between Sawston and Cambridge schools.
