Rest of the rural area
Representation ID: 57802
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
A major transport consideration need to take place before any proposed expansion. Rural areas must not be segregated from Cambridge particularly where Jobs and Services nearby are none skill set variable.
The expansion of some rural areas (Cottenham in this example) has already been agreed but will suffer without the core B1049 route through Histon been addressed.
Further more, population projections used to justify the building of new schools must be looked at again within the rural area where a 2nd choice school could be more than a walk away hence making Car use more of a necessity.

S/RRA: Allocations in the rest of the rural area

Both Caldecote and Cottenham require good transport plans. It is unknown if Cambourne will get a new station hence Caldecote will require a transport plan. The assumption or expectation of a new Station (for example) can not be a reason not to improve Transport. The Fulbourn area also needs a decent transport plan.

Climate change

Reducing Carbon is not just about making Personal Car use hard. We have major concerns that making personal car ownership hard for an easy win is not a good decision. A wider view is needed.

CC/WE: Water efficiency in new developments

What if 80L per person per day is impractical? More work is needed such as pushing for more grey water systems.

CC/DC: Designing for a changing climate
Representation ID: 57808

I see no mention of installing Ground Source Heat Pumps underneath Green Spaces. If these community systems are not put in before the infrastructure, it will be hideously expensive to retrofit. Putting Ground Source Heat Pumps underneath green spaces is something to seriously consider before these green spaces are put to grass.

Using the words "Where Possible" says to me you are not serious about this and gives potential developers the option to not do it as it does not say "Must". If you are using the words Where Possible, it suggests you are not serious about the point.

BG/GI: Green infrastructure

Some developments will have no gardens particularly urban areas. All homes with no gardens MUST have recreation space within a 5 minute (for example) walk. A policy of no dense buildings except when within 5 minutes walk of open community space is essential.

Development along River Cam (for example) obviously needs clear thinking about flood risk and prevention.
