H/MO: Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)
Representation ID: 56997
Received: 09/12/2021
Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association presses for continued controls on the conversion of homes into HMOs, particularly in the new developments in the Southern Fringe, where the changes required to make a home suitable (such as conversions and extensions) can have a negative effect on the urban design.

I/ST: Sustainable transport and connectivity
Representation ID: 57001
Received: 09/12/2021
Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association believes that the Local Plan and the Local Transport Plan need to be brought closer into alignment than they are at present. There should be a policy which limits development unless related essential transport infrastructure is planned and financed.

I/EV: Parking and electric vehicles
Representation ID: 57002
Received: 09/12/2021
Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association argues that there should be a priority on supporting a network of recharging points. We are concerned about the vagueness concerning the number of parking spaces. For example, there is no mention of parking for visitors/deliveries, yet these become even more crucial as the number of parking spaces for residents decreases. If you do not have a car, you could be even more reliant on having your groceries delivered. Where is the insistence that developers properly manage this demand?
The Trumpington Residents' Association argues that there should be a priority on supporting a network of recharging points, as the number of EVs increases.
There is a reference to the provision of '1 charge point per dwelling' but how will this work when not all parking spaces are immediately adjacent to the property to which they relate (page 307)?
We are concerned about the vagueness concerning the number of parking spaces. For example, there is the statement "We are therefore proposing that we move to a more design-led approach, supported by indicative standards tailored to reflect different circumstances" (page 309) but no mention of parking for visitors/deliveries, yet these become even more crucial as the number of parking spaces for residents decreases. If you do not have a car, you could be even more reliant on having your groceries delivered. Where is the insistence that developers properly manage this demand?

I/DI: Digital infrastructure
Representation ID: 57004
Received: 09/12/2021
Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association notes that there are references to support "via multiple providers" and "in all cases, to encourage competition and consumer choice, this will include the provision of multiple ducts to enable several providers to access the site" (both page 322), but in our experience in the Southern Fringe we are aware that this may not happen. The infrastructure would be in place for early residents, who should not be expected to live without connectively for months, as was the case in some areas of the Southern Fringe.
