CC/RE: Renewable energy projects and infrastructure
Representation ID: 56882
Received: 08/12/2021
Respondent: Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth Parish Council
We support this policy.
Renewable energy projects should be developed early in the plan period in order to facilitate the move to electric vehicles and heat pumps.
Would some kind of scoring matrix / reference be useful to rank these projects against biodiversity and heritage?

CC/CE: Reducing waste and supporting the circular economy
Representation ID: 56883
Received: 08/12/2021
Respondent: Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth Parish Council
The Construction Environmental Management Plan should prioritize on-site re-use and recycle over off-site in order to minimize emissions from transport.
Could prescriptive waste targets be considered?
Very difficult to benchmark for differing building types, but would impose obligations on designers to design out waste from the start, when it is much easier to have a bigger impact.

BG/PO: Protecting open spaces
Representation ID: 57712
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth Parish Council
Criteria for designation of Local Green Space are quite restrictive and therefore policy-makers should consider other options for protecting existing open space just outside the development framework valued by the community. Existing Local Green Spaces, Protected Village Amenity Areas and Important Countryside Frontages should be retained. Two sections of The Causeway, Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth are an important connection between the street scene and the East Anglian Chalk landscape and should be considered for ICF designation.

They have views south over open agricultural countryside towards the higher ground of Therfield Heath SSSI. The land to the south forms a break between the Kneesworth development framework and the Royston settlement boundary in the proposed North Herts DC 2011-2031 Local Plan.
