Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58914

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Phase 2 Planning

Representation Summary:

4.The policy approach to biodiversity and green spaces is supported. There is significant potential to enhance the biodiversity of the areas proposed for development in Meldreth and Melbourn. The creation of new residential areas would replace existing areas of agricultural land which currently have low levels of biodiversity. It is therefore anticipated that there is significant potential for enhancements to biodiversity and opportunities for net gain of 10% or greater to be achieved as part of development proposals.
