Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD
Representation ID: 31818
Received: 02/10/2017
Respondent: Smarter Cambridge Transport
Agent: Smarter Cambridge Transport
Inconsistency in the interpretation of planning law: if the SPD cannot make reference to a new railway station, how can it refer to unplanned cycling infrastructure beyond the development site? It is unclear how this will be funded as a development condition or planning obligation.
Examples of improvements needed include:
1. A protected cycle lane alongside Coldham's Lane
2. Improved walking/cycling access to and around the roundabout at Barnwell Rd-Brooks Rd.
3. Improved walking and cycling access around the Barnwell Rd-Newmarket Rd roundabout.
4. Improvements to the cycle links between Cambridge, Cherry Hinton and Fulbourn, making crossing Perne Rd safer.

Summary:
*Impact the development will have on the local road network, and the modal shift required to offset that impact.
*Inadequacy of the proposed mitigations.
*Role of a railway station in stimulating modal shift.
*Opportunity to improve the urban environment of Cherry Hinton by re-routing through traffic away from the village.
*Requirement for walking and cycle routes to be available from when residents first move in.
