Question 1
Would you be happy living in a twelfth floor flat with a small child? Very unhealthy against the A14 and between the railway line. A tunnel to take you to the over used Milton Country Park.

Too big and too dense. Will generate too much traffic into an already congested infrastructure. Planned before pandemic which is disrupting how people may need to live and work safely - unless you plan to review in 2 or 3 years post Coronavirus as it may not reflect what is needed in delivery. Smaller high quality developments like Eddington on the West side contrast drastically with what is planned for NE. Fens are an increasingly important biodiversity in rising sea levels.

Seems good in principle but the details are unclear.

Some aspects are appealing but overall there are still concerns.

Trying to pack too much into the development already. To shuffle the sewage works a short distance is crazy. It will need to be moved again in a short time as over development continues.

The area is already overdeveloped and local infrastructure cannot cope.

Not ambitious enough re. green agenda.

Vision seems to include blighting another area be relocating the waste water treatment plant to the Green Belt. I believe the plan should be reconsidered in the light of the 2020 Pandemic (housing more people in central Cambridge and reviving businesses there?

It looks like inner city London. It is not suitable for Cambridge. The buildings are far too high. Should be kept at maximum 5 storeys. It looks as if it will bring more congestion to an already congested area of Cambridge.

Too many flats - density of population leads to overcrowding and spread of infectious disease.

I am concerned about it Who is the "master developer"- why can't we know their identity

The draft plan document is very well presented with some pleasing infographics that set out a professional view of the vision for North East Cambridge. However, beneath the polished cover there appears to be a number of concerns that are at risk of being glossed over: Integrated Planning: The current draft plan proposed hinges on relocation of the Water Treatment Plant to a likely Green Belt location in contravention of Green Belt policies, at a considerable cost and with a corresponding impact on the time to delivery of housing. Given the post Covid 19 economic crisis and the fact that there is no operational need to relocate the plant, this casts into question whether the spend is appropriate and the legitimacy of the current draft plan. This is compounded further by the fact that considerable sums were invested in the current water treatment plant in 2014 / 2015 to future proof the operational capability. Use of a Development Consent Order to relocate the Treatment Works under a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project could potentially be misleading as it implies the move is required to maintain national infrastructure, which is not the case, but prevents the overall programme from being viewed in a holistic integrated manner. Recent responses to the Call for Sites under the Greater Cambridge Local Plan provided 656 sites, well in excess of that needed for development. Although these sites have yet to be determined from a planning perspective, this output should also be considered in relation to the North East Area Plan in terms of cost, optimum delivery of housing needs and time to delivery. A ‘Once in a Generation Opportunity’: Cambridge is expanding and driving demand for both residential and commercial development on the outskirts of the city. The current proposed locations for the Water Treatment Works are being driven primarily by cost and are therefore proposed to be at nearby Green Belt locations, which is just moving the issues with odour and noise to other local communities and creating the same problem for the next generation, when the plant needs to be relocated again. The Treatment works should therefore either remain at its current location or be considered on a long term integrated planning basis as opposed to being divested to a third party company in isolation. Risk / Feasibility: Neither the Draft Area Action Plan, nor the proposed Waste Water Treatment Plant relocation appears to be underpinned with a suitable level of investigation or feasibility study to gain surety of either proposal. This represents a risk to delivery of both plans.

Comparing a 13 storey ugly block of flats to King's College Chapel is a joke! We do not want high rise in Cambridge. This style of development will be a dump in 10 years.

Biodiversity target not sufficiently ambitious. It's partially in the wrong place. The area to the east close to Chesterton Fen should be redeveloped instead of the WWTP which should remain where it is instead of being moved to the Green Belt.

Some good aspirations, some areas where the vision does not really get to grips with the challenges we face.

Concerned that this will push existing industrial facilities- particularly the sewage works- out into the green belt. High building density= poorer quality homes and out of character for Cambridge.

I like most of the proposed environmental improvements, however the development is too dense, too high and will have negative impacts on the existing surrounding community. More needs to be done to support the existing community.

The vision is blinkered. The taking up of greenbelt land for sewer treatment does not fit with the environmental ethic.

Totally out of character with Milton village, height of new buildings inappropriate.

I have seen too many of these appear in the city and this particular site is more suited to commercial use.

Too many houses resulting in too much traffic.

Good ideas but will need 'ambassadors' to encourage inclusiveness. I applaud 'genuinely affordable' council & social housing and mixed private/social housing developments but given the current govt. how will you stop the council/social housing being sold to landlords who will then charge high rents?

Will there be some houses, not just blocks of flats?
