S/RRA/MF Land at Mansel Farm, Station Road, Oakington
I object to building on the land next to Mansel Woods Oakington for the following reasons:
-It is green belt, and sits adjacent to an area of vast development (Northstowe). This precious space is needed for displaced animals and biodiversity
-It is a flood plain and has flooded extensively in 2020. If this area is built on the existing housing in the village is placed at risk
-Northstowe is providing 40,000 new homes over the road. If there are insufficient affordable homes in CB24 this should be addressed through Northstowe’s planning application -not remediated through building on the green belt.
