Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Housing figures are far too ambitious and unsustainable. Cambridge will be a much less pleasant place to live and does not support the needs/mental health of existing residents. Review required after COVID/Brexit. Not enough green spaces in Greater Cambridge and building unsustainably as described, will increase the stress and anxiety amongst existing residents. The number of houses planned, and the type of housing will not make any difference to affordability crisis, people will continue to have to live further out and commute. A lot of the apartments will be purchased by investors and won't help housing crisis.
