S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
Green belt should be utterly sacrosanct - it protects from urban sprawl and provides much needed recreational space.
Traffic on Hinton Way, Shelford Station level crossing and Mingle Lane is already unmanageable. Hundreds more local cars would create unacceptable congestion and pollution; Mingle Lane would become a death trap and Shelford town centre (already a bad joke) would be reduced to permanent gridlock and amenities would be unreachable. Mooted changes to public transport would mean that more and more residents would be forced to use their cars, a combination making for a travesty of urban planning. Think again!
