S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
The proposed site S/RSC/HW is minute in relation to the overall development of new housing. The benefit in housing is small compared to the destruction of pasture land green belt, the increase in traffic congestion and demands for water. Local schools and surgeries are full. What is the likelihood of new schools and surgeries being built for so few houses?
The "exceptional circumstances" claimed assume Cambridge South railway station will exist. This is not established. Without this, the situation is the same as in 2018, when similar proposals were rejected.
