Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Agree

How will you ensure the range of jobs you promise? I attended an exhibition of the plans and urged the inclusion of a care home (this was before the covid 19 outbreak!). Pointing out that in such a large area there should be such provision, not just for schools. The advantage would be that low paid care workers could afford the houses and also walk to work safely, especially considering that some would be on night shifts. PLEASE think about which low paid jobs there will be, given more auto tills for retail, online shopping reducing the retail uptake. There is likely to be more need for care homes (increasing elderly population, higher percentage of disabilities/people with health issues) in the future and there is already a shortage!

Mostly yes

Lighting for all paths/cycle ways is very important for those moving around at night.

Mostly yes

Mostly not

Include a care home so that there is a greater chance of having low paid workers who will not need to commute. Insufficient evidence that awareness of the type of jobs that are low paid have been catered for in the planning of the area. The target of 60% affordable homes depends on this. The risk is that you will increase commuting which we do not want, even in the possibly unlikely case that all will use public transport/cycle/walk into town.

The number of storeys of all buildings should be no greater than 6.
