The development strategy does not provide a wide range of homes and jobs and is heavily reliant on commuting to Cambridge and high density living environments and risks not meeting the needs for all, for example for family housing.
In the case of NEC and Additional Cambourne, there is reliance on other consenting processes which in itself adds greater risk and uncertainty to deliverability. The strategy therefore needs to focus on strategic sites like Westley Green that are more deliverable and can facilitate more sustainable movements near to major employment locations to the east and southeast of Cambridge.
