Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for consultation
Rest of the Rural Area
Representation ID: 207728

Respondent: Swavesey Parish Council
Major new housing at Cambourne North, Bourn and continued development of Northstowe will impact both highway and water infrastructure around the Swavesey area. Cumulative impact needs to be a consideration of each individual development site. Site assessments contain general statements that developers would be required to produce traffic management plans or flood risk management plans but there is no point at which these plans are consolidated and their overall effects assessed. We believe this to be a significant shortfall in the Draft Local Plan and needs to be addressed before the next round of consultation.
