Greater Cambridge Local Plan Issues & Options 2020

Not at all important

You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet. Let's start talking about sustainability. And check out 'doughnut economics' by Kate Raworth. Get with the times!

Absolutely none. Put it in Peterborough. Or so many other places that could benefit from careful regeneration.

No. We should actually be downsizing to stay within our ecological boundaries, particularly in water.

Local market gardening and farming to produce more local food and eliminate food miles. Could use rooftops. Local off grid energy systems such as windmills supplying just the Cambridge Area.

No more employment space. We are already overpopulated and shouldn't be bringing any more people to this overheated city.

Convert larger houses into beautiful, well designed microapartments. Redevelop some of the more nasty inefficient pokey Victorian housing into beautiful high density microapartments.

No, somewhat disagree

We DO NOT NEED TO ACCEPT this growth. We CAN and we MUST reject it, because we haven't got the water infrastructure to serve this kind of growth.

Microapartments

By not building any. Seriously, we have no capacity for growth as there isn't enough water for us AND for the river. If the rivers are lost, the trees will die too and farmland will turn to desert. This is what you're up against. Don't ignore it.

No more development. There is no water. Increase existing capacity by converting big houses into smaller units.
