Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58436

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Ms Janie Thomas

Representation Summary:

I object to any Green Belt changes. Green Belt laws should be strengthened to preserve Babraham and Cambridge's unique rural wooded farmland character penetrating into the city.
Survey chalk landscape hydrology and protect watercourses. Give primary status to planetary needs. Protect fertile soils, woodland, farmland and parkland character as a primary resource against climate change. Assess geomorphology, hydrology, soils, land-use, farmland and woodland character and age/health relationship of trees in advance of planning designation. Allow full conservation of historic character as priority. Use good multidisciplinary design to offer alternatives to exploitative imposition on the land as in previous planning history.
