Strongly object. There will be a significant increase in airborne particulates as a result of this plan. Biodiversity will be yet further decreased, with more encroachment on an already decimated greenbelt. Ninewells conservation area will be further threatened, along with several rare species that have been regularly observed in these fields. The fields regularly flood, and more hard surfaces will further increase watershed and risk of local flooding. The flood mitigation at the Ninewells housing development has been a complete disaster. Cambridge infrastructure is already poor, and in the absence of substantial improvements throughout the city, further development is only going to make matters worse. The whole fabric of what made Cambridge special is being eroded, and the Council seems hell bent on turning this city into some clone of Milton Keynes.

Unlike the Great Knighton area, which has been similarly overdeveloped, there is no country park on this side of Cambridge. This would be a much more sensible use of the land, making a positive contribution to climate change, biodiversity and mental and physical wellbeing.

Several scientific campuses are flourishing in Cambridgeshire in more rural locations. As a medical practitioner I know there is absolutely no logistic reason why labs have to be in close proximity to each other, or even to a hospital.
