Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57471

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Catherine Martin

Representation Summary:

Do not support creating a brownfield site here in order to cram houses/flats next the A14. Unsustainable location because the demolition of an operational sewage plant is not being included in the sustainability assessment, nor is the carbon cost of relocating and building the sewage plant on Green Belt a short distance away. Support medium growth approach to NEC which did not include CWWTPR. NECAAP lack meaningful open space - 27ha in thin corridors. Moreover, it involves destroying an area of Green Belt which acts as an important buffer between ancient settlements and new developments of Marleigh and the Airport.
