We agree that policy should require that development does not lead to or is subject to significant adverse effects as a result of noise, vibration, odour, and/or light pollution. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) should also be included. It is important for policy to help to protect the research environment, including sensitive equipment, which is particularly sensitive to noise, vibration and/or EMI, and not just to human receptors.
Policy to protect research undertaken by the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory at Lord’s Bridge should be rolled forward into the Greater Cambridge Local Plan.
