The LLFA are pleased to see the promotion of permeable surfaces as in addition to controlling the rate of surface water leaving the site it also provides water quality treatment. The LLFA is supportive of the promotion of rainwater harvesting systems which reduces existing stresses on potable water in Cambridgeshire.

We welcome the inclusion of ecology and biodiversity net gain, with specific reference to looking for opportunities to enhance tree cover and biodiversity at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. However, we are surprised that a target of 20% Biodiversity Net Gain has not been including, particularly for phases that are yet to be built (e.g. Phase 3). Particularly given a 20% BNG aspiration is included within Greater Cambridge’s Biodiversity SPD, and incorporated into Design Codes for other areas of the city (e.g. Draft Cambridge Neighbourhoods Design Code for Arbury, King’s Hedges and parts of West Chesterton SPD).
