Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31623

Received: 21/08/2017

Respondent: Peter Tribble

Representation Summary:

I argue that the Primary road should be a perimeter road. Such a choice:
- doesn't break the community up
- doesn't funnel vehicles to the centre of the development
- no need for pedestrians/cyclists to cross the road to get anywhere
(specifically the school)
- provides natural barrier between housing and the airport
- no impact if/when it becomes a "rat run"

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

Most contentious parts of consultations was requirement by the LP Policy for 'spine road' in development. The reason behind this may be due to AAP and about larger site's interconnectivity. This fragmentary approach to development is contextually inappropriate. This is the most rigid and constraining of requirements for site -the road is dictating the development- a tail wagging the dog scenario.

There is still a lack of credible evidence to demonstrate why this must be included, what benefit this will provide for wider transport/congestion and what alternatives there are. How will spine road address thru traffic, prevention of rat runs?

Representation Summary:

We are concerned that the adjacent spine road could subsequently provide an entrance route to future development on safeguarded land to the west - this would require a road that would then cut across the linear park, devaluing wildlife connectivity.
