Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

We have previously objected to the planning application for land south of Coldham’s Lane. Our concerns related to an absence of proper accounting for the predictable and significant short-term impacts of the proposed development (increased traffic, type of traffic (i.e lorries) and congestion; high likelihood of pollution and flooding; negative impact on biodiversity). We also felt there was insufficient analysis of management and funding implications for the proposed urban country park in this application. We would want to see these issues fully addressed in future policy.
