Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59902

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Fen Ditton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

OBJECT IN PART:
Abbey stadium relocation appears to assume a Greenbelt Site with worse access links will be needed instead.
Newmarket Rd Retail and Beehive areas both fulfil an important function for residents. Excluding the TESCO site is bizarre. The interaction of these two areas with the City Centre and other existing and future retail centres in GC is hugely complex. The stated focus given to density and amount of car parking may be a distraction. The organisation of the sites’ accesses should be investigated due to the congestion caused on Newmarket Rd and Coldhams Lane.
