Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58121

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Paul Bearpark

Representation Summary:

If it is anticipated that existing new settlements are built out more quickly than anticipated in the 2018 Local Plan then it will be essential to ensure that supporting infrastructure and services including transport infrastructure are also put in place at a commensurately accelerated rate. The particular issues with public and active travel transport infrastructure to/from Waterbeach New Town must be given proper consideration. Trip budgets will need to be revised.

If any changes are made to policies relating to Waterbeach NT they must properly consider the Waterbeach Neighbourhood Plan (expected to go to referendum in the next few months).
