4.2 KEY STRUCTURING ELEMENTS (FIXES)
AMOUNT, DENSITY & HEIGHTS
Scale and Massing - Number should be guided by Local Plan policy. References to 10,000 and 1,000 dwellings should be removed. High density also not compatible around proposed rail station.

Height - Proposals for 7-8 storeys do not reflect tradition of other fen edge market towns. It is a function of number proposed in SPD. Development should be limited to 4 storeys, with 2 around village.

Public spaces - public spaces should not be partially used as SUDS.

Primary Movement - object to use of Cody Road as route to station district, should be access form A10.

Education - Primary School and Special Needs School should not be positioned near A10 due to impact on health from airborne pollutants.
