Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57003

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Dr Philip Coldrick

Representation Summary:

S/RRP/L East of bypass, Longstanton

The revised proposal for the area East of Bypass, Longstanton to no longer provide an employment area is very good but I question the need for housing. The whole area outlined in red could be used for recreation and open space. Sheltered housing and older persons' housing is not appropriate as it is too far from local facilities and not on any bus route. The area is on the approach to Longstanton Village and as such it should have a welcoming feel to it with community facilities rather than housing.
