Question 18. How do you think we can make sure that we achieve safe and inclusive communities when planning new development?

By building Lifetime Home By building accessible public spaces, buildings and transport By combatting social isolation

No specific comments. Existing arrangements appear to work satisfactorily.

By ensuring that existing facilities are maintained in villages that could easily be lost through the lack of growth.

Continue to support and encourage Neighbourhood Planning thus enabling local communities to have real legislative power in shaping their development.

Focus on genuinely affordable housing, for everyone, not just the super rich - have green spaces, social spaces, spaces for growing food, not just houses, but the things that help build community

Stop building social activity sites eg football pitches, basketball courts, and skateparks Tucked away from The public foot traffic view. By doing this your creating a anti social haven where Kids can do what they want eg selling drugs, anti social behaviour.

The key to developing safe and inclusive communities is to ensure that they are located close to services, facilities and employment with safe pedestrian and cycle links. Such provision encourages people to live and work in a location, building a sense of ownership, community and collective responsibility and self-regulation of the space. Any linkages should be attractive, lit and overlooked to avoid opportunities for crime or the fear of crime. To ensure that a diverse community is achieved the Plan will need to make provision for a sensible mix of housing in terms of style and size as well as affordability along with good connectivity to sustainable modes of transport. Investment in services and infrastructure as well as the sustainable location of development is central to creating safe and inclusive communities

Section 4.3.3 of the Issues & Options consultation document identifies the factors that are relevant to the creation of safe and inclusive communities. As set out in the response to Question 16, there are substantial affordability issues in Greater Cambridge associated with the high cost of buying and renting housing, and those that cannot afford to live in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire close to employment opportunities having to endure longer commuting.

Section 4.3.3 of the Issues & Options consultation document identifies the factors that are relevant to the creation of safe and inclusive communities. As set out in the response to Question 16, there are substantial affordability issues in Greater Cambridge and a substantial need for housing for older people both in Stapleford and Greater Cambridge. It is considered that the emerging GCLP should include a development strategy that seeks to meet housing and affordable housing needs, and older people’s housing and care. The developments promoted by Axis Land Partnerships in Stapleford would provide these types of housing.

Create a public but closed BIG skatepark (just for members who follow the civic and "how to use" rules). So it can be managed by people from the comunity, or just opened with a card access for all the registered members, providing a good area for socialise and make sport. It needs to be big enough to fit all the children and begineers as well as the amateurs or professionals. With just a big one in a centric place (Jesus Green for example) will be enough for everyone. Important to be covered (by the rain) and lights on the night, as a lot of people can not skate during the day because of school or work.

New housing development in Elsworth will provide support for crucial village facilities and amenities, including the primary and pre-schools, community shop and local pubs.

Speak with and understand the needs of the vulnerable? It’s not rocket science, guys.

5.20 New development should include a range of new homes and associated infrastructure which can be accessed and enjoyed by all groups in society. 5.21 To achieve this, the Local Plan should include policies which allow for innovative ways to deliver ‘affordable housing’ across a range of tenure types. It should include a clearer policy framework to support housing for elderly persons. 5.22 New policies should carefully consider the necessary infrastructure to create socially inclusive communities, these policies could cover open spaces, play areas, community buildings, street design, travel management and technology requirements (Wifi, 5g and beyond).

Cycle parking that includes space for a range of bicycles including cargo bicycles. Cycle parking to be well lit and covered.

Cycling is a mode of transport which is cheap and accessible to almost all income levels and social groups. • It is important that planning policies specify that cycling infrastructure and facilities are not treated as afterthoughts – relegated to the shadows of new developments in poor locations and/or with poor lighting. • Cycle parking and cycleways should always be in well-lit and overlooked locations. • To determine if people feel safe, we should reach out to the most vulnerable people in our community to assess safety. • Transport and cycling infrastructure must not just be designed for work commutes but for all types of uses and all types of users.
