Foxton - Designation of a neighbourhood area - October 2015

Representation ID: 165095

Received: 14/10/2015

Respondent: EurIng Nigel Lloyd

Representation Summary:

There will be continuing pressure for growth in the villages close to Cambridge as the city continues to expand and transform into the major urban, industrial and administrative centre for East Anglia. Foxton has a strong sense of community, and is well-endowed with character (historic buildings), facilities and transport links. It is very attractive to outside developers, but would be wise to take charge of its own development and be proactive (planning and managing its own growth) rather than simply reactive (responding to commercially-driven initiatives from outside).
