I note and applaud that this Neighbourhood Plan is being set up. I hope that both South Cambs and Waterbeach Parish Council will be proactive now in strategising for the future.

I am appalled that the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of Cambridge Architecture [www.cambridgearchitects.org] has directly inside its front cover an Urban&Civic advertisement proclaiming Waterbeach Airfield Barracks (along with Alconbury Weald) as 'viable' and 'good design' developments. There is a distinct sense of a 'done deal' here, publicly flaunted.

My hope is that development will be confined to infill of existing buildings in order to preserve the wider eco-system and heritage of this area. Serious consideration needs to be given, faster than usual, to infrastructure and the siting/services of the railway line.

Above all, I wish well to all of those who support and facilitate any public consultation. The lack of transparency at this point borders on the undemocratic - and worse.
