Greater Cambridge Green Infrastructure Opportunity Mapping- final report 2021- Gamlingay Parish currently split in half with the policy for area 8 Western Gateway. Western side of Gamlingay has valued woodland edge environments bordering Central Bedfordshire (White Wood and Potton Wood). Land also historic acid grassland and heathland environment which would benefit in being included in 8 Western Gateway proposal area. Consider extending the policy area to cover whole of parish up to Central Bedfordshire border.

Gamlingay Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment evidence supports the principle that SCDC must lower the reliance on the private car- as there are significantly higher carbon dioxide emissions in SCDC area (2016) than the rest of East of England and England in general ( S Cambs 4, East of England 2.3 , England 1.9).

Support the policy as it promotes active travel and public transport as the natural choice to try to address the climate crisis, to reduce carbon usage. Green Infrastructure must be delivered before, or alongside new development. Jobs should be where people live (reduce long distance commuting)

Support the expansion of Cambourne as a sustainable location for an enhanced public transport hub. It is a sustainable location for an EW Rail station. If EW Rail does not happen, however, there is still a need for Cambourne to be a public transport hub to serve its residents and the residents living in the rural hinterland.

Reduction in allocating greenfield sites is supported. Development of new settlements should include development of public transport hubs to serve the rural hinterland surrounding the new settlement.
