I am perfectly happy with the proposed development even though where I live will be greatly affected. However, I am anxious to stress the GREAT IMPORTANCE of an improved public transport service to the existing homes in the area and of course to homes in the new development. At the moment this area is denied access to the Beehive Centre and the Grafton Centre.

The transport proposal for the development proposes two ways to mitigate the increase in trips:
1. An increase in local bus services.
2. Provision of new or upgraded segregated cycle routes into Cambridge ('the Tins' path and potentially via Coldham's Common to the Chisholm Trail).
Our assessment is that it is most unlikely - and almost certainly unprecedented - that the required large modal shift may be achieved simply by running more buses and upgrading cycle paths.

Summary:
*Impact the development will have on the local road network, and the modal shift required to offset that impact.
*Inadequacy of the proposed mitigations.
*Role of a railway station in stimulating modal shift.
*Opportunity to improve the urban environment of Cherry Hinton by re-routing through traffic away from the village.
*Requirement for walking and cycle routes to be available from when residents first move in.
