Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 59058
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)
The RSPB supports the policy direction set out. However, we believe that it could usefully be extended to include the Great Ouse river corridor which passes through the northern edge of the plan area. There may be floodplain restoration opportunities here as well as in the Cam catchment. The Environment Agency are currently undertaking a Gt Ouse Flood Storage and Conveyancing study to look further at opportunities for this.
