Marshall appreciates the strategic ambitions to increase tree cover within Cambridge and wider Cambridgeshire more generally. Tree and hedgerow planting are therefore a fundamental part of the Cambridge East proposals including within the green corridor, the developed areas themselves (including through the provision of street trees), and possibly from carbon sequestration elsewhere in Cambridgeshire. Given also that trees within the airfield occur rarely, there is significant potential for major gain.
