Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58907

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Metro Property Unit Trust

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

Such sites, are considered sustainable, being as they are close to sustainable modes of transport, and accessible by walking and cycling, which in turn, heavily reduces the reliance on the private car.
