Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 59297
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: The National Trust
The National Trust strongly supports the requirement for development to achieve a minimum 20% biodiversity net gain. It is important that this policy is robust.
We also support the requirement for development to mitigate evidenced recreational impacts on designated sites. It must be ensured that the Local Plan evidence assesses the impacts of increased recreational pressure arising from the housing growth on designated sites, including those which fall outside of the Local Plan boundary, including Wicken Fen (Ramsar, SAC, SSSI).
