The map shows the Land at St Peter’s Street as being within the proposed Western Gateway Multifunctional Green Infrastructure Corridor (WGMGIC) (8). Paragraph 175 of the NPPF 2021 reinforces a strategic approach to green infrastructure and paragraph 186 of the NPPF 2021 sets out this should be done. However, the WGMGIC covers a large area of land and it is considered this corridor should be focused on the large strategic developments at Cambourne and Bourn Airfield or major development as the purposes of the policy should be strategic in nature and is therefore unreasonable to cover the whole of Caxton.
