Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31758

Received: 02/10/2017

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

The AAP is a small part of a much larger development with intended collective benefits arising from large scale development in this location, such as a new country park and wetland habitat creation within the Greenbelt, as well community and transport improvements. Our view is that this SPD does not place enough emphasis on this bigger picture and should make clearer that the LNCH should be developed with consideration for future development on the safeguarded land, in terms of mitigation, transportation, views, open spaces, local centres, etc. This is piecemeal development not planned development that Cambridge needs.
