River Granta, and specifically the flood plain, its riparian habitat and surrounding mature woodland matrix around Babraham needs better protection. This policy is very necessary and I support it wholeheartedly, but I feel it is incompatible with current GCP CSET plans, and will be very difficult to implement in Babraham should the Research Campus be taken out of the greenbelt, as together this will undoubtedly fragment the landscape and leave the remaining fragments under pressure from over development.
The Granta is already over abstracted, and in desperate need of revitalisation but your other policies (S/BRC) are inconsistent with this objective.
