Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57834

Received: 11/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Daniel Lister

Representation Summary:

Although somewhat supportive of satisfying the housing demand locally to prevent a further increase in commuting, such a large increase in house building within the city requires a significant investment in community facilities and infrastructure to be a benefit to current local communities, not a further strain on resources.

Investment in public transport should come before extra housing, rather than retrospective when reliance on private transport has already been established.
