We broadly support this policy, as long as standards for accessible green space provision are met (see also
BG/EO). Where people do not have private gardens, it is especially important that opportunities for local food growing - such as allotments, community farming schemes - are provided. We note that building height is not mentioned in this section (although it is covered elsewhere): a drive for higher housing density must not
override considerations such as landscape impacts from inappropriately tall buildings. The building heights initially proposed for NE Cambridge proved unacceptable to the public in the first round of consultation, and have been reduced in the next draft.
