Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59254

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Colin Goodwille

Representation Summary:

Allowing CBC to expand into S/CBC/A will cause irreparable damage to the environment, the biodiversity, and the setting of Cambridge. GCP's own Site Assessment Summary grades the suitability as "RED", and with a rating of "Very High harm". This site should not be included in the Local Plan.

There must be an updated masterplan for the existing CBC land allocations, to provide for all the facilities required on a campus of this size, before any further land allocation is considered. Redesign must additionally address inadequate cycle and pedestrian permeability through the campus and to the new station and busway.
