Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Proposed Submission

To re-iterate previous representations at Reg 18, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) acknowledge that there are no site-specific allocations close to the Hertfordshire boundary. Should that situation change, where there are opportunities to review any cross-boundary site allocations, HCC should be invited to engage and contribute on matters relating to service provision across administrative areas to ensure there are comprehensive mitigation strategies in place. Furthermore, should any future plans and strategies (e.g. Spatial Development Strategies) suggest locations for growth on or near to the border then engagement between relevant stakeholders will be required, noting this will be led at a strategic level.

Rights of Way:

The quality and continuity of longer-distance cross-boundary walking, cycling and equestrian connections is important to support continued growth. The plan should continue to support enhancement of strategic Public Rights of Way and active travel links that extend beyond administrative boundaries alongside key infrastructure to facilitate this, examples of which are the A505/A10 corridor and bridge and the Ivy Farm bridge.

An addition to public transport
