Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Not at all

Eddington and Clay Farm have incorporated dedicated wildlife areas in these developments. There are none here. Please explain why. There are at least 8 Red Listed species of birds in the development area that will be threatened.

Message: I am very concerned at the number of planned residences. NE Cambridge has been continuously developed since 1950s. SW Cambridge has been untouched. Is this a bias to protect the Newnham area and the University precincts. The green space and biodiversity ambitions are completely inadequate. Why no open wildspace like Eddington/ Trumpington Meadows/Hobsobs Park? This reinforces the Councils prejudices against the working people of north Cambridge! In the same way that housing developments were proposed for St Albans recreation ground. I have politely written to Cllr Herbert about green matters but have not had the courtesy of any response - and I'm a member of the Labour Party! This is an opportunity to reinstate the wet water meadows of Chesterton Fen to link with riverside habitats and Ditton meadows and create genuine wildspace. Milton Country Park is already heavily used. The proposals to build 13 storey flats is completely out of character - you know this. It is just part a a strategy to maximise the number of units. Will there be a public meeting to discuss your proposals? Bob Jarman 3.10 20
