Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59961

Received: 11/12/2021

Respondent: Schia Sinclair

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 .

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

I would also like to emphasise that, above all, I think we need to protect our green belt and shouldn't be building on it. The proposed relocation of the Newmarket Road Park and Ride, the sewage works and the extensive housing that is planned on greenbelt is really not OK.
