Lack of Water is talked about a lot in this plan. Here is where you can do something. Water efficiency MUST be compulsory. Grey Water used to flush toilets.

CC/FM: Flooding and integrated water management
Representation ID: 57875
Received: 12/12/2021
Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
Repeating myself here but Grey Water should be used where possible.
Regarding Flooding, before any work starts anywhere with historic flooding, flood management must be implemented before work is started and approved by independent experts. In the past, SCDC have approved plans where residents have informed them of flooding issues and within a year, area has flooded. Maybe use simulations (via independent experts).
Applications approved experiencing flooding Hunters Close Impington, Park Primary, Histon as example. Approved, residents expressed concerns, now flooding, nothing happening to fix.

There must be no reduction in the previous plan’s requirement for both informal and formal open space per 1000 new residents. As more and more modern homes will have less and less Gardens (if any) seriously consider increasing this and for open spaces to be within 5 minute walk and allotments within 15 minutes (stated earlier in response).

Affordable housing MUST not be segregated to independent areas but to improve inclusion should be placed within full priced homes.

WS/HD: Creating healthy new developments

Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
Repeated from earlier but with many new homes having no gardens, all new developments should have a nearby greenspace.

Subscription based sports facilities should be discouraged to enable it’s use by all. This will then include the society at large.

WS/MU: Meanwhile uses during long term redevelopments
Representation ID: 57881

Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
As long as it is safe to do so, fine. Where greenspaces are closed, signpost where the nearest one is. Do not close too many greenspaces in the same area at anyone time so spaces are still available.

WS/HS: Pollution, health and safety
Representation ID: 57883
Received: 12/12/2021
Respondent: Histon & Impington Parish Council
Some areas already have unacceptable pollution levels. Monitoring of existing high density areas is also required. Where new development takes place beside an area of high pollution, measure, put fix in place before work starts. Trees as a barrier will take time so temporary pollution measures whilst trees growing should also be considered.

Support ensuring historical buildings are maintained to extend there life.
Updating the buildings which do not change the general façade should be supported to extend there life and usefulness (eg allow insulation, double glazing, modern updates) but to repeat, as long as does not alter there appearance in any way.
