My representation is with regards to the land proposed to be developed between Hinton Way Great, Shelford and Mingle lane, Stapleford. This land is currently within the Green Belt and has already been considered in the last Local Plan, and then dismissed, as unsuitable for. There are multiple reasons for this prior exclusion including: Adverse impact on the Green Belt changing the linear character of this area of the village, resulting in backland development and encroachment into the transitional area of the fields that provide a softer edge of the village.
There must be "exceptional circumstances" for release of Green Belt land.

No consideration seems to have been given to the impact on the already over crowded local services Schooling and GP. Having 100 more cars on the narrow mingle lane used by primary and secondary school children to cycle to sawston village college and stapleford primary is definitely going to discourage me from getting them cycling to school as will most villagers. This seems to be poorly thought out.

There is also a meadow with substantial wildlife that is being bulldozed to build this. I am concerned that the views of the village residents and parishioners have not been taken into account while allocating this land.

There is a great deal of local opposition to development of the site.
There has been no persuasive new rationale for use of this site, it is against the findings of the consultation, against the principles of the Local plan and does not materially contribute to new housing stock. I would note that the uncertainty and changeability on the part of the council are contributors to significant stress for the local residents.
