Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59904

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Fen Ditton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Broadly supportive but it is important that these developments do not encroach on the Green Belt and retain the individual character of Fen Ditton and Teversham villages.
We have not resolved the spatial extents of CE/R45: Land north of Newmarket Road (within Cambridge) and expect to comment at a later date.
OBJCT to move of the Newmarket P&R since this appears to assume an alternative Greenbelt Site with potentially worse access links will be needed.
We have suggested alternatives to GCP including the NE corner of the Airport site since this would have direct access to the roundabout thus avoiding congestion.
OBJECT to move of Cambridge WWTW to Green Belt land immediately north of Cambridge East since such open space will become important to future residents.
