Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58935

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: R Donald

Representation Summary:

Land west of Impington

The Green belt status of the land west of Impington should be protected.
This is necessary for the village to maintain its character and remain a separate village, with a unique character, surrounded by fields, rather than be swallowed by Cambridge city.
Proposals for a large development here are completely out of character with the rest of the village and will greatly increase traffic through a quiet residential area.
The land is prone to flooding and development will increase flood risk to the existing homes and put strain on an already struggling GP practice.
