Access to facilities at the secondary school would be great. The existing sports pitches in Cherry Hinton are quite far away (and have poor cycle links to as the cycle routes on the High Street are not good).

We have concerns regarding the location of the school playing fields which extend into the Greenbelt. Playing fields are urban in character, utilising artificial surfaces, ball courts, flood-lighting, fencing. The purpose of Greenbelt here is to prevent the merging with Teversham and green corridor linking Cambridge with east countryside. Fields could significantly erode both of these. We see no indication in SPD regarding landscaping on the NE and eastern edges of fields. The land allocated for school towards eastern boundary should be reserved for landscaping/buffering as part of the playing fields could be a nature area for the school.
