Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Respondent: Mrs Rosemary Rigge

Representation Summary:

S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford

Pollution levels around Hinton Way/Mingle Lane are already poor, so the addition of 100 houses on Green Belt land will exacerbate things greatly.
The limited train and bus service is already laughably poor, and the proposed guided busway will force everyone into their cars to reach it, making everything worse.
The existing roads are unable to cope now, and Mingle Lane would become a rat-run with 200 extra cars just behind it, and related delivery services adding to mayhem.
Waverley Park opposite will become available shortly, an existing built-up area, so build there and leave Green Belt alone.
