Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58270

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Pembroke College

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

The direction of policy provides some flexibility for providing development in the countryside, while ensuring the setting is not adversely affected. The suitability rating of site 40302 under the HELAA has been decided based on the potential landscape impact, should the whole site be developed. The Council is requested to reassess the landscape impacts of the proposal based on the proposal submitted. It is not the intention to develop the whole site, but rather the full extent of land is put forward to the Local Plan so that any land allocation can include areas of landscaping and open space.
