The Church Commissioners for England strongly support the Councils’ aspirations of ensuring Greater Cambridge’s new towns mature into great places to live and work, that make the most of existing and planned transport infrastructure and are real communities with their own distinctive identity, with the critical mass to support local businesses, services and facilities. It is recognised that in the case of Cambourne “it will be one of the best-connected places in the region” as a result of East West Rail. Page 97 of the First Proposals identifies that “development near to this future transport hub will support delivering homes and jobs in sustainable locations” and that “it can also help make the existing Cambourne area more sustainable by increasing the range and facilities available, and providing opportunities to create sustainable new green spaces”. Again, the Commissioners agree with the Councils’ regarding the opportunities Cambourne presents in achieving sustainable growth that meets these aspirations.
