Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 59001
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)
Any new allocations (in additions to the existing West Cambourne West) will need to be well integrated with the new E/W rail station location and vice versa so that the new station is integral with the development of the town. As part of this, the RSPB would have concerns about significant development north of the A428, which might put recreational pressure on SSSIs like Overhall Grove and Elsworth Wood. Any new development would need adequate green infrastructure provided on site to provide Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGs).
