The house expansion you are proposing would change the nature of Cambridge from a small town to a large city. I would hate to live in the city you are proposing to build.
Please focus on connect the biomedical campus well to other residential areas outside of Cambridge city
Cambridge was born as a University Town and has a beautiful Medieval city centre. It's already grown something like 20% over the last 20 years, and you are proposing to double the growth rate over the next 20. This would completely change the nature of the city, from a small city with a historic heart and a scientific and technological focus to a large city. I would hate living in a large city, and many people alonside me have moved here for its peaceful and countryside nature. Please revise your growth outlook. People who work here don't need to live here. Please focus on building small, independent houses in land that is already destined to house building. Please don't build on the Green belt. If the Biomedical campus has to grow, let's focus on connecting it well to other places through public transport and cycling connections.
