Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56522

Received: 17/11/2021

Respondent: Ms Heather Donoghue

Representation Summary:

As a local resident, I strongly object to this devastating proposal to extend the biomedical campus/release greenbelt. Every major viewpoint (Wandlebury, the Gogs, the Beachwoods) would be negatively impacted. The proposed area is part of a beautiful and absolutely vital green space used daily by local residents for walks and to connect with nature. It is part of an important wildlife corridor and is adjacent to Nine Wells LNR, itself already under threat from over development. This precious land must not be built upon and must be permanently protected - it cannot be replaced or offset.
