Representation Summary:

We support the approach to control biodiversity impacts from development and to work towards minimum 20% biodiversity net gain. We support the recognition of a strategic Greater Cambridge Green Infrastructure Network to encourage biodiversity enhancement. New green space as part of the development can protect Nine Wells and link parkland at Trumpington through the site with the Gogs and Magog Downs and beyond. Campus expansion offers an exceptional opportunity for strategic biodiversity net gain and habitat implementation in line with the aims of Policy BG/BG, enabled through the extension of the Area of Major Change Boundary within Policy S/CBC.
