Representation Summary:

Support Principle G. Care needed with Principle L to how this can be delivered alongside existing and planned mineral and waste activity to avoid conflict. Additional development principle needed to ensure essential services /infrastructure retained or provided such as Household Recycling Centre. Support objective 1, but amend option B to read "By creating a sustainable, cohesive and inclusive area by ensuring there is appropriate support, improving access to jobs, homes, open space, leisure facilities and other services within the development and to the wider community".

Development Principle G is supported, the continued operation of the Water Recycling Centre and the strategic railheads are essential for the growth and well being of the Greater Cambridge area.

Development Principle L seeks to deliver 'enhanced connections for pedestrians, cyclists, buses, prioritise these modes to encourage a modal shift'. However, care needs to be taken to how this can be delivered alongside existing and planned mineral and waste activity to avoid a potential conflict situation.

An additional development principle should be added which includes the need to ensure that essential services / infrastructure is retained and / or provided. This may be infrastructure which is essential to support the development proposed in the CNFE, or the wider Cambridge area e.g. a new Household Recycling Centre.

Support objective 1, but amend option B to read " By creating a sustainable, cohesive and inclusive area by ensuring there is appropriate support, improving access to jobs, homes, open space, leisure facilities and other services within the development and to the wider community".
This is supported but would benefit from "health" added to address any deprivation in the area of Chesterton.
