The draft policy assumes that annual delivery rates at Northstowe and Waterbeach will be higher than so far relied on; however, we question whether the required infrastructure is able to keep pace with these increased delivery rates especially as there is a trip budget at Waterbeach.
Once these thresholds are met, it is highly likely that the dualling of the A10 will be required to unlock further development. At present there is no certainty over build programme. Similar concerns exist in terms of wastewater infrastructure delivery and the relocation of Milton Sewage Works.
