Question 15. Do you agree that we should aim to increase tree cover across the area?
Well of course. Perhaps engage with the tree planting volunteering group that is active in Cambridge? (if not already)

Yes tree cover is good, but we should also consider what historic forms of carbon storage there have been in the area, and restore/enlarge them. E.g. fenland, peat, etc.

Yes. This could be at both individual site development level and on a more strategic basis i.e. creation of major new woodlands. Potentially, biodiversity net gain can be achieved for smaller developments through financial contributions to such wider objectives.

More trees are always a good idea.

Tree planting needs to be thought of long term/holistically - who will maintain the trees over time, are they being used to support agroforestry, do they produce things people need, like nuts, fruit, or wood products??

All habitats should be enhanced. Tree cover shouldn't be prioritised too strongly over grassland, wetland and scrub habitats

Yes. This could be at both individual site development level and on a more strategic basis i.e. creation of major new woodlands, this would be particularly beneficial within the Green Belt. Potentially, biodiversity net gain can be achieved for smaller developments through financial contributions to wider objectives.

Yes. This could be at both individual site development level and on a more strategic basis i.e. creation of major new woodlands, this would be particularly beneficial within the Green Belt and on the periphery of elevated locations and large scale developments.

For developments above a certain size I think there should be a minimum standard for tree planting/cover

Agree – see answer to Q8. However, the College also recognises the need to balance this with the area’s other essential needs not least housing and employment growth in sustainable areas.

So stop chopping down trees or allowing the hopping down of trees that local community members are SCREAMING at you to protect. See Hooper Street end of the horrific Depot development, as a prime example of where the Council got it wrong AGAIN.

5.16 Yes. With the right trees, in the right areas. A policy framework to seek tree cover increase but allows for a planning balance within decision-making to enable the benefits and impacts of each development to be assessed. This could be part of an on-site/off-site solution, which could generate notable s106 funds to achieve significant, meaningful and long-term planted and ecological areas. Ecological outcomes rather than an unconditional focus on native species should be considered in new planting.

Pigeon strongly agree that the Plan should aim to increase tree cover across the area as a key part of achieving net zero carbon emissions within the area by 2050. In this regard, the proposed scheme for Pigeon’s site on Land south of St Neots Road, Hardwick will include extensive tree planting in the form of both tree-lined streets and extensive boundary planting to achieve a significant increase in tree planting across the site.
