Representation Summary:

S/RSC/H/1 (c)

This is an unwelcome development. The site currently under construction (Land north of Babraham Road, Sawston (H1/b)) is an eyesore that has used entirely inappropriate building materials for construction that do not align with the design guidelines of Sawston. The density of housing is inappropriate and the allocated green space is negligible. S/RSC/H/1 should only be allowed to go ahead if development aligns with Sawston design guidlines, and is at a density MUCH lower than H1/b. Transport infrastructure must be brought in to avoid the additional pressure that has been placed on Babraham village by H1/b.
