Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD
Representation ID: 31762

Respondent: Cambridge Past, Present and Future
We have concerns regarding the location of the school playing fields which extend into the Greenbelt. Playing fields are urban in character, utilising artificial surfaces, ball courts, flood-lighting, fencing. The purpose of Greenbelt here is to prevent the merging with Teversham and green corridor linking Cambridge with east countryside. Fields could significantly erode both of these. We see no indication in SPD regarding landscaping on the NE and eastern edges of fields. The land allocated for school towards eastern boundary should be reserved for landscaping/buffering as part of the playing fields could be a nature area for the school.
