In light of the overarching objective of preventing or reducing carbon emissions, and mitigating against the impact of climate change, it is clear that development which clearly promotes, and effectively encourages, the use of public transport, particularly where there is direct access to rail services in particular should be supported. The current development strategy delivers new development in the north of the Greater Cambridge Area but fails to maximise the opportunities for sustainable development in the southern areas where the areas in close proximity to public transport links are not allocated for growth.
