Barracks housing is/would be part of the village community.
Infrastructure is very important:
Upgrade / dualing of the A10 is critical from Waterbeach since it is already over capacity
Railway station should not be moved just to suit new development since existing village residents will be adversely affected as proposal does not offer easy access to the new location and also people just do not expect a railway station to move!
I understood there was to be a "Justification Statement" prepared by the Parish Council but not sure where this is, or if it is the 'application' PDF.
Anyway I think the boundary as proposed of the whole parish is a good idea. The current housing on the barracks site is very much part of the village community and any new development at the barracks site will impact on the village too.
I, and indeed I'm sure the village, would like to be involved in the planning of it and especially with new infrastructure to ensure the overall plan is a cohesive one for the benefit of everybody throughout the parish.
