Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59505

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Andrew Barry

Representation Summary:

I am writing in a personal capacity to object to the Draft Local Plan on the grounds of inadequate water supply, effect on national food security, failure to minimise climate change, likely irreparable damage to ecosystems, carbon emissions resulting from construction, lack of an integrated public transport system, undermining of the Government's policy of ‘levelling up’, and a democratic deficit in the process and evidence base . Cambridge should aspire to be one of the leading cities for sustainable development in the UK and promote development that will benefit all its residents, as well as the wider environment.

I fully support the letter of objection sent to you by Friends of the Cam, available here;

Please confirm that you have received my objection, and that this individual submission is noted, recorded, counted and made available.
