I have studies aspects of interest to me and intended to respond over the weekend. Unfortunately I have not found it possible to access the form on which you seek contributions. (For your technical people if others have had trouble there is some sort of circularity issue where a preceding page appeared each time I sought to make an entry.)

Under the circumstances might I limit my observations to Oakington, where I am a resident. I do so with regard to the proposed development south of the busway in Water Lane.

Specifically in the appraisal proforma, where the initial base line is set against criteria such as demand, traffic implications, flooding risk, use of green belt land, and so on, the indices are collectively very much at the lower end of the range applied across other proposals in the Development Plan.

This form of approach whilst valuable does not make it easy to undertake simplistic comparisons but the outcome here I would suggest places this proposal at a low point on the list of possible new housing developments to be considered.

There is an important point omitted in this analysis. When taken into account the building of Northstowe, this proposal will be in line of sight of the very large Northstowe Phase 3A and it seems strange that this is not referenced. Indeed on my hurried examination of this proposal only it is difficult to determine whether the traffic, noise, etc. figures take full account of the position anticipated after the commissioning of Northstowe 3A.
