Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58990

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)

Representation Summary:

Although we have no opinion on the allocation of the Abbey stadium as an opportunity site, we would have significant concerns regarding any relocation of the stadium to a site near the A14 J.35 with regards to potential adverse impacts on Little Wilbraham Fen SSSI and its sensitive priority spp. (including rare breeding birds). We are pleased to see that there is no such allocation proposed within the First Proposals document.
