Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31761

Received: 02/10/2017

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future

Representation Summary:

We welcome the inclusion of green infrastructure within the SPD and an uninterrupted linear park (wildlife corridor) that links with wildlife sites to the south of Coldham's Lane with the Greenbelt/Green Corridor to the north, although we are concerned that the spine road subsequently provides an entrance route to future development on safeguarded land to the west - which creates a road that would cut across the linear park, devaluing wildlife connectivity. The houses adjacent to the linear park are four storeys and to the south - casting shade on the linear park. Consideration of shade/building height/aspect is therefore required.
