I do not agree with the old part of the village being used as a cut through by even more traffic. I think construction traffic shouldn't go through the old village. Waterbeach Community Land Trust should be given some land to build an eco project.The carbon footprint of all the development needs to be minimised.

COMMENTS MADE ON SA SCREENING DOC:
Sustainable eco building with minimal cars outside centre,like Eddington,Cambridge and Houten,cycle town in the Netherlands. Global warming is now drastic 5 years possibly to the point of no return to save the planet. This must now impact on all future building plans. Shouldn't Cambridge lead the way of what is right to do. Build a new town with public transport and cycling as key features. People First as Waterbeach Cycling Campaign argued. RWT had bikes close by and cars only to houses for dropping off in one original plan. Residents are more likely to use their bikes then or walk to the station.

The new station needs direct access from the A10 to go people to switch to the train. The train platform will need to be able to accommodate 12 carriage trains.
