Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 59041

Respondent: Great Shelford Parish Council
Great Shelford Parish Council has considerable concerns that transport projects currently considered are led by separate bodies, do not appear to be joined up, meaning this could be flawed. GSPC is particularly concerned that many of these projects including CSET and EWR are designed to benefit Cambridge City alone, to the detriment of surrounding villages such as Great Shelford.
Great Shelford Parish Council (GSPC) members have noted the comments in this section but wish to reiterate their comments noted above in the section ‘Vision and Development Strategy’ as they apply to this area too.
GSPC has considerable concerns that all the transport projects currently being considered are being led by separate bodies and do not appear to be coordinated, meaning this area could be flawed. All these areas should be integrated under one plan led by one representative, strategic, democratically accountable authority.
We are particularly concerned that many transport infrastructure projects, such as CSET and East West Rail, are designed to benefit Cambridge City alone, to the detriment of the surrounding villages such as Great Shelford.
