Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59564

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Jeremy Johnson

Representation Summary:

I am writing to you personally to object to the Local Plan as it has no focus on the whole future of the city, the nation or the planet, just an obvious short-term growth for the GDP based economy.

There are many problems including:
* inadequate water supply
* national food security effects
* failure to minimise any impacts to climate change
* damage to ecosystems that should be rewilded not destroyed
* carbon emissions from the construction
* no plans for an integrated public transport system
* a lack of a fully democratic process and evidence base

I 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.
