Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Agree

The aspirations for zero carbon are great. Concerned that the limited car spaces and expectations to not increase local traffic are not realistic. A key cycle connection to the east of the Cam is missing.

Mostly not

No answer given

Mostly not

Creating many more jobs than homes without addressing wider transportation needs-such as a cycle connection across the Cam, improved bus connections, road improvements for increased traffic and sufficient car parking. Will result in gridlock around an already busy traffic area.

Neutral

Three primary schools in one small area is too many. A larger school would be better.

Neutral

The ratio of green space in such dense building is still very small.

Neutral

A green bridge across the a14 would allow wildlife to move between spaces. It is unclear how the biodiversity will be improved. The use of a mixture of canopy heights, native species and flower meadows would be preferable to the manicured look of the science park.

Not at all

It is not realistic to have only 0.5 parking spaces per home without radically improving cycling and public transport across the whole region. Likewise for the new jobs created. You can’t stop people using cars by not providing parking spaces you need to provide connectivity. A cycle crossing over the Cam, more cross town bus connections and road improvements and increased parking provision are all needed.

Mostly not

There is no mention of power use. How will net zero be achieved, heat pumps, solar??
