I suport policies to control development that has an impact on the River Cam, especially with regard to protecting habitat and revitalizing chalk streams (both from a biodiversity and an over-abstraction of water point of view), a very urgent issue. I am also interested in seeing policies which will protect the character, visual amenity and historic significance of river corridors. I welcome guidance for integrating development into the landscape, but am concerned that this may be coming too late - the new North East Cambridge developments are already intruding on the river corridor visual amenity.
