S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
The land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford is not suitable for 100 new homes. Not only is this greenbelt land (once it's gone, it's gone), the roads near the Hinton Way level crossing get chaotically congested at peak travel times due to the length of time that the crossing is shut. If the queue length increases, and more cars want to turn right onto Mingle Lane, there is a danger that traffic will sieze up over the crossing, leading to an accident.
