Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 60507

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Robert and Katharine Whitaker

Representation Summary:

I am writing to you re the grand plan for 44,000 homes and 58,500 jobs before 2041.We are unclear whether the houses are being built for jobs or are the jobs being created for the housing.

There is no more room for more houses in Cambridge without building on flood plains/green belt. There are not enough doctors, dentists or water at present. There is a transport system that already cannot cope.

For any new houses that are planned it is hoped that they will all be eco-friendly. With heat pumps, solar panels and electric car charging points as directed by COP26.
