Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58232

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Dr Amanda Ogilvy-Stuart

Representation Summary:

I have major concerns about removing this land from the green belt because of the impact this will have on the settings of Grade 1 and 2 listed buildings, particularly Babraham Hall's historic open parkland setting within the village and as well as the impact on wildlife habitats and impact of water abstraction requirements from thriver Granta which will damage the ecological balance the chalk streams and associated habitats. This will also put excessive pressure on the infrastructure and amenities of a village of 130 houses. Please see detailed submission from Patrick Axon.
