Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019
Representation ID: 168243
Received: 29/07/2019
Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council
2.4 ACCESS, MOVEMENT & CONNECTIVITY
Access, Movement and Connectivity - Cycle connection improvements need to link to Cambourne, Caldecote and Bourn village properly not just to the Broadway and Highfields Road as there is not suitable cycle infrastructure connecting these villages currently.
Figure 8 - Three existing vehicular accesses to the site are shown on the western edge in Figure 8. It should be made very clear in the SPD that only the most northerly access will access the whole site. The other two are just for the existing employment sites and will remain this way in perpetuity and at no point will be opened up as another access onto the Broadway for all vehicles as a through route or to access the rest of the development site.
Figure 8 - This also needs to show cycle links to Bourn and Caldecote as well as Cambourne.
