Question 19. How do you think new developments should support healthy lifestyles?

Minimal car parking facilities / car pooling only in city centre developments. Cycling infrastructure instead. Separate sale of car park spaces so that users appreciate full market cost of such provision and have the choice to opt out.

By having accessible sports and play equipment. By proving segregated cycle and pedestrian routes By providing al weather activity places

Odd question to apply only to new developments. Interagency work with education and health sectors should operate across all communities. Health concerns should be continuous, ongoing, and universal, not confined to new developments

off road cycle paths that run parallel to the roads Village facilities within walking distance of homes No fast food /takeaway restaurants

See previous questions re new green infrastructure, new non-car means of travel i.e. linkages, and co-locating housing and existing/planned employment areas.

The key is co-locating, or closely locating, housing and significant employment sites to reduce the need for travel e.g. Ickleton - which is within cycle and walking distance (1.2km) to The Wellcome Genome Campus whom employ circa 2,600 staff and 1.8km from numerous employment at Duxford.

Make it a condition that first-class walking and cycling routes, and leisure/exercise open spaces, are provided before first occupation of any residences.

By providing for housing of the right type to meet needs. This is particularly important in villages that can easily end up with a static rather than a dynamic housing stock that fails to recognise the needs of existing and future residents.

We support the ideas to support health lifestyles in the consultation. In our Parish the Village Hall, allotments, properties with gardens and extensive footpath network are important for healthy living.

Emphasise accessible food growing spaces and training, good public transport, trees, exercise classes and facilities

There are numerous matters relevant here which are all reflected in the adopted Local Plan: • Proximity of housing to nearby employment; • Inclusion of affordable housing; • Include low cost starter homes in new larger developments; • Proximity of housing to non-car means of transport; • Large residential developments to be situated within close proximity to existing and planned public transport corridors; • New tree planting or biodiversity enhancements; • Quality of place-making; • Car-sharing and communal transport arrangements; • Enhanced public transport generally; • Technology to allow home and flexible working; and • Large developments to include new allotments, community woodlands/ orchards etc.

1.SKATEBOARDING. Skateboarding is the new trend of this day and age, it is rising all over the world. Skateboarding is now an olympic sport. Skateboarding should be recognised in healthy life style category. The average football pitch or basketball court is seeing its demise in popularity, skateboarding is out passing these sports very very fast. More kids are interested in skateboarding now. This is why the new developments should include skateboarding features eg skateable benches and big open spaces to ride around in. Skateboarding gets kids doing something creative and positive and allows them to meet new people. Every development that is being built in Cambridge should have skateable features to it which is in the spotlight for the public to see instead of being tucked away in a corner of a field.

In order to promote healthy lifestyles, the Plan needs to create the opportunities for healthy and ultimately more sustainable choices to be made and form part of the populations everyday routine. The provision of usable open space within development should continue but greater emphasis should be placed on the creation of sustainable safe modes of transport, including pedestrian and cycle linkages from new development to the existing settlement on safe dedicated routes. Locating sufficient housing within walking and cycling distance of employment opportunities is fundamental to supporting healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities to travel other than by the private car. Employment developments should be required to provide cycle parking, showering and changing facilities to encourage alternative sustainable mode for transport in order to support healthy lifestyle choices. The proposed allocation for five dwellings on the land off Comberton Road, Toft is within easy walking and cycling distance of employment, shopping and education facilities in Toft and Comberton via a dedicated pedestrian walkway and represents a sustainable extension to the village.

All new developments should prioritise walking and cycling within them. All new developments should be connected to neighbouring towns and cities via high-quality dutch style cycle ways. With the advent of affordable electric bicycles, most people can easily cycle 10-15kms if they are provided with high-quality segregated cycle ways.

New green infrastructure, new non-car means of travel and co-locating housing and existing/planned employment areas.

Make cycling easy and safe. Well lit routes for walking Pleasant areas and open grassy areas within walking range of homes for dog walking and exercise (also reduces car journeys overall) Water bodies give structure to exercise as a 'destination', make sure they are present and accessible Get as many of these as possible in place early on in the development, to help set habits as people move in (rather than mud everywhere, no lights and no bike lanes until the end) Make defined running routes. People increasingly can track times and distances. Have routes with measured distances and ideally a 5km parkrun route designed into large new developments Encourage participation in outdoor activities - sport, allotments, community nature volunteering etc.

See previous questions regarding new green infrastructure, new non-car means of travel i.e. pedestrian and cycle linkages, and co-locating housing close to existing/planned employment areas. This is of particular relevance for locations which are within easy cycling distance of Cambridge and major employers.

Paragraph 91 of the NPPF seeks to deliver healthy, inclusive and safe places, and identifies a number of approaches to support healthy lifestyles. It promotes social interaction through mixed-use developments, strong neighbourhood centres, street layouts that include pedestrian and cycle connections, and active street frontages for example. It enables and supports healthy lifestyles, by providing green infrastructure, sports facilities, local shops, access to healthier food, allotments, and layouts that encourage walking and cycling for example. NHS England Healthy Towns Initiatives identified ten principles to deliver healthy places, which relate to the provision of health services, meeting local and community health needs, and development design matters. In terms of design matters it is suggested that compact neighbourhoods, active travel, healthy eating opportunities, play and leisure facilities would contribute towards the delivery of healthy places. It is considered that the promoted development at land off Limekiln Road in Cambridge would be consistent with guidance and initiatives to support healthy lifestyles. The promoted development would include open space and green infrastructure. It is accessible to the outdoor recreation areas within Cherry Hinton and Queen Edith’s.
