Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58323

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Mrs Isabela Butnar

Representation Summary:

The rail infrastructure plans do not seem ambitious at all. I would say it is not about protecting those four train stations from being negatively impacted by development, but they should be at the heart of new development, which should thrive around them.
A rail station at Cherry Hinton should be open and connected to Cambridge main rail station. Other targeted locations for new developments would also benefit from enhanced rail availability. This only can be made with appropriate planning and investment.
