Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58995

Received: 13/12/2021

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

Representation Summary:

Although the new biodiversity policy BG/BG will set out a 20% target, it would be worth cross referencing this requirement in any supporting text. In addition, although this is likely to be dealt with in more detail in a subsequent action plan, we believe that there should also be headline targets or objectives within the allocation policy related to water demand, green infrastructure and sustainable urban drainage, or appropriate references to requirements set out in the associated climate change and great places policies.
