BG/BG: Biodiversity and geodiversity

Representation ID: 58675

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

CambridgePPF support 20% BNG. The overall intention of the policy is supported. The wording of the policies will be critical to guide and enhance development. Policies need to ensure a full assessment of impacts, mitigation and compensation, and address harmful developments. Where accessible green space cannot be provided on site we support a policy which requires a financial contribution to support existing and create new areas.

BG/RC: River Corridors

Representation ID: 58736

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

CambridgePPF support the overall intent and policy direction. However, it is important to ensuring that any policies aimed at protecting and enhancing rivers are not undermined by consequential effects of other development that will be brought forward in the new Local Plan. Developments should support provision of natural flood management techniques. The heritage value of rivers should be recognised. There should be an assumption in favour of infrastructure schemes such as wetlands to tackle flooding.
