We support this initiative thinking it is a good idea that residents have a way of making their views known on future planning through the Parish Council.

Barracks housing is/would be part of the village community.

Infrastructure is very important:

Upgrade / dualing of the A10 is critical from Waterbeach since it is already over capacity

Railway station should not be moved just to suit new development since existing village residents will be adversely affected as proposal does not offer easy access to the new location and also people just do not expect a railway station to move!

I think its right that the Village plan area covers the same area as the parish boundary. The farms and houses up Long Drove are occupied by people who identify as being part of the village, and I would like us to be able to take opportunities to improve access from the village to Denny Abbey (cycling/walking access - away from the A10)

The boundary as proposed of the whole parish is a good idea. The current housing on the barracks site was always, and still is, very much part of the village community and any new development at the barracks site will impact on the village. Therefore it makes sense that our village would like to be involved in the planning of it and especially lots of new infrastructure to ensure the overall plan is a cohesive one for the benefit of everybody throughout the parish.

We support the forming of a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Waterbeach as it will give the community some say in how the area is developed and could bring more finance to the Parish council for the benefit of residents.

As a Waterbeach resident, I would like to register my full support/backing of the Waterbeach Parish Council's Application to have Waterbeach Parish designated as a Neighbourhood Development Plan Area.
Our community needs to be protected from speculative development such as the proposed New Town. I fully agree with the Parish Council's arguments made in the application, in particular in relation to the current horrific traffic volume on the A10, which as it is now, is no longer sustainable. The queues on the A10 from Waterbeach to Milton are a regular daily feature on the local morning traffic news!

I write to support the Parish Council's application for a neighbourhood plan for Waterbeach, and also that this would most logically cover the area of the parish boundary on the plan. Having a neighbourhood plan would increase local determination of issues and be a positive step for the village.

I fully support the proposed Neighbourhood Plan that Waterbeach Parish Council and residents have put significant time and effort into bringing foward.

The Neighbourhood Plan's are an excellent example of Localism and giving a community some control and influence over shaping the best interests of their community.

Already we have seen many speculative developments passed. Anything that provides a greater say for the community is crucial.

I would very much implore that the Barracks are included in the area of the Neighbourhood Plan as this land is within the Parish.

It makes sense for the village community of Waterbeach to support a whole parish boundary. The current housing on the old barracks site is an integral part of the community and village. Too much new development is having an impact on local infrastructure, which is already pushed to its limit and localised flooding and sewage problems.
I believe the villagers should be involved in overall planning regarding development and infrastructure.

We support the principle of Neighbourhood Development Plans. Waterbeach adjoins Cottenham Civil Parish to the North-East of our boundary. We agree in principle with the proposed geographic scope. We support the application for the area to be designated as proposed.

I support the neighbourhood plan boundary proposed by waterbeach parish council.
It is vital the whole parish including the barracks is incorporated. Short term, families in the old married quarters will still use the facilities. It's nonsense to separate them from the village and any building on the barracks site into a separate plan, particularly now the proposed green belt separation of the village and barracks/newtown has been lost to speculative development.
Whatever happens on the barracks site impacts on the village so it needs to be a part of the planning process to ensure both the old and new can benefit from each other.

I fully support the proposal for the neighbourhood plan boundary area to encompass the whole of Waterbeach parish, including the former barracks site. This site is an integral part of the village and any development on it will have a significant impact n the village as a whole. It is essential that the village is fully involved in any future developments on this site.

U&C support PC aspirations to prepare Neighbourhood Plan and wishes to work closely with local community. Will help shape master planning Waterbeach Barracks site.

Allocation SS/5 of Proposed Submission Local Plan should be excluded:
* Strategic / large scale predominantly brownfield site development opportunity, consistent with Government priorities.
* Emerging Local Plan context and Neighbourhood Plan should align with strategic needs and priorities.
* If included, requires significant resources and expertise.
* Alternative / more effective opportunity for community to engage in emerging proposals for strategic site - could sit alongside Neighbourhood Plan process.

SCDC should consider High Court and Court of Appeal finding in favour of Wycombe Borough Council's decision to exclude RAF Daw's Hill.

No specific comments to make on Neighbourhood Area designation. Gladman take opportunity to highlight number of key requirements to which development of emerging Neighbourhood Plan should have regard. Gladman wish to participate in Neighbourhood Plan's preparation and be notified of further developments and consultations in this regard.

Government's policies - NPPF (paras 16, 184) & PPG (para 65) & Para 8(2) of Schedule 4B T&CP Act 1990. Must conform with adopted Local Plan - LDF, but reduced weight due to failure to meet OAN. Emerging Local Plan suspended. Inappropriate to progress with NP. Cannot prevent development. May require SA.

Welcome PC seeking to designate Area - propose dialogue to provide assistance in preparation of NP.

Allocated site in Local Plan (Policy SS/5). Local Plan suspended but new settlements not rejected. Local Plan should be given due weight - emerging plan at advanced stage.

NP can propose more development, identify suitable sites, help determine type and design of development but cannot propose less growth or prevent development. Must conform with national policy and strategic policies in Local Plan - emerging Local Plan.

Not NP remit to address strategic development allocations, although NPPG para 036 allows and para 184 should support strategic development.

SCDC should exclude SS/5 site from Area. Precedent - Epping Forest District Council. Case Law - Daw's Hill Neighbourhood Forum v Wycombe District Council.

It's a great idea to have a Waterbeach Neighbourhood Plan that includes the old barracks site and Denny Abbey. It's important that Waterbeach occupants have a say in how their village is developed and changed. This is a very special village with a strong community spirit and any developments need to support and enhance the community. We must not become a soulless place with no vision.

With plans to expand Waterbeach massively we need a transparent open approach and ability to incorporate all villager's needs and concerns on changes that have the potential to have a positive impact or a very strong long-term negative impact if not dealt with properly.

I am very concerned that without this Plan we are at strong risk of losing a very happy village, that we chose for its unique properties where we want our children to grow up.

I support Waterbeach Parish Council's designated Neighbourhood area.
Waterbeach has lost the buffer zone between itself and the proposed new town meaning that there is no separation between the two. This has considerable implications for Waterbeach residents. Recent changes to planning rules have given a defacto green light to building on brown field sites. There will be development of at least that part of the Barracks. It's essential expansion within the parish boundary should be considered by the Parish Council and relevant funding applied for benefitting the whole of Waterbeach - the designated area would allow for this.
I believe it would be fundamentally anti-democratic to exclude the Barracks site from the remit of the Parish Council as part of its designated area.
