TMLC supports the objective to enhance the existing green infrastructure network and address how development proposals can link in with green infrastructure. The aim for all development proposals to include green infrastructure is beneficial for the people of Greater Cambridge.
When considering the proposed site allocation ‘Trumpington South’, the site is already surrounded by extensive green infrastructure, this includes the 150 acre Trumpington Meadows Country Park (Delivered by TMLC in partnership with the Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire & Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust) and the River Cam river corridor, both located immediately to the North West of the site. Indeed, the Trumpington South proposals include a potential expansion of these wildlife rich ‘green lungs’ for the City by a further 33%. The management of this open space could be integrated with the successful operation of the Country Park; now a proven community asset delivered and managed for 10 years by TMLC.
