Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56707

Received: 02/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Mariusz Zmija

Representation Summary:

S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
- Existing water infrastructure is not adequate for the region
- When the train barrier is down on Hinton Way I have seen car queues as far as Orchard Road. 100 extra houses will mean 100-150 extra cars. Plus this issue will be exacerbated as there are plans for more trains to run and therefore the barriers will be down longer meaning Hinton Way will become gridlocked.
- Green belt area/agricultural area - we are a net importer of food and we should not be destroying this resource.
