Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58156

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Hannah Thomas

Representation Summary:

Removing this site from the Greenbelt will remove very important constraints on planning and should not be allowed. The Close is adjacent to the village - a conservation area - and must remain under the strictest planning constraints to make sure that development is extremely sensitively handled. There has been enormous development in the Babraham Research Campus already, despite its greenbelt location, so removing this could be extremely detrimental to the village character, housing density and infrastructure. Removing the Campus from the greenbelt will undoubtedly invite over-development.
