Both 'spine road' options internally divide the new development and isolate it from the rest of Cherry Hinton. It would be a big mistake to create yet another 'cul-de-sac' development.
Two other options should be considered, both providing a new through route between Coldham's Lane and Airport/Gazelle Way. These would displace through traffic, away from north Cherry Hinton (the eastern end of Coldham's Lane, Cherry Hinton High St, and Teversham Drift).
Both options would remove road barriers to permeability for people walking and cycling, which would ensure better integration of the new development.
