Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 60682

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Green Parties

Representation Summary:

We are very concerned at the apparent lack of consideration for Cambridge’s historic environment. For example, the Green Belt assessment omits consideration of historic environment designations and landscape character constraints. We agree with Cambridge Past, Present and Future’s policy statement that “preventing urban sprawl so as to protect the setting of the historic city is irreconcilable with continued city fringe development.”
