Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Not at all

• There are no commitments to the highest construction standards and the brightly coloured flats will soon look out of date. • There does not appear to be any mention of renewable energy. We are going through a climate crisis and the development needs to focus on conserving and reusing water wherever possible. The half-hearted ‘proposes robust targets’ and ‘encourages low carbon lifestyles’ is a passing acknowledgement and does not mean the developers will actually do this if costs prove too high. At very least every roof should be required to be covered in solar panels. • Unless the development is built to the highest standards, there is a risk that it will become dilapidated after a few years and further energy will have to be expended in rebuilding or demolishing it.
