Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31741

Received: 01/10/2017

Respondent: St Andrew's Church

Representation Summary:

We support this aspiration but know that if the needs of future residents are to be planned for, people must be in place to listen to whoever moves in and to run the groups and events that will help a community to form. Building a community hall is not enough. We will be on the ground, and would like to help manage and direct community facilities. We would like an acknowledgement in planning that people have spiritual needs and emotional needs which different faith groups are well placed to address, and the Church of England well placed to coordinate.
