Q42 response: Inevitably there will need to be a combination of approaches to the location of development. Broadly speaking, priority should be given to densification of existing urban areas and villages, in particular utilising brownfield sites where available and subject to the provisions set out below. Thereafter, it would be appropriate to use land on the edge of Cambridge outside of the Green Belt before considering a new settlement and development along public transport corridors. Careful consideration will be needed as to whether further review of the Green Belt is justified at the present time (as discussed above) but if it is then this will need to consider the purpose of the Green Belt in preserving the setting and special character of Cambridge.
