APPENDIX 2: GAMLINGAY’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
COMMENTS
Appendix 2 identifies sites of sport, recreation and amenity value where residents can come together both informally and where community events are held. The Gamlingay First School playing fields, Green End (0.8 ha) (Asset of Community Value-ACV) is included within the list.
The former First School Playing Field is private land with no public access (including no public rights of way across the land). Access is only granted through private agreements with Cambridgeshire County Council. While the land was previously used for sports and recreation associated with the school use, the school use has now ceased owing to the relocation of the school.

Reference to the NPPF needs to be updated to the 2021 version.
The conservation area boundary does not exactly follow that drawn on the Local Plan Policy Map for Gamlingay.

• Reference is made to the potential flood risks within Gamlingay, and the specific locations that are most at risk. It is also shown that the Neighbourhood plan supports increased resilience to flooding through the promotion of rainwater harvesting and flood mitigation using SuDS.
• It can be seen that reference has now been made to the NPPF, through the discussion of a proactive approach to mitigating and adapting to climate change. The use of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) is also mentioned as a specific method of protecting watercourses.
• The Cambridgeshire Flood and Water Supplementary Planning Guidance is also included which will allow future developments to be built in ways that are considerate of flood risk and in line with adopted documentation.
• It may still be worth drawing attention to Policies CC/7, CC/8 and CC/9 in the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan as these relate to flood risk and are considered during planning application review.
• It is discussed throughout the Neighbourhood Plan the importance of increasing the biodiversity within the area, links could be made to the potential for increasing biodiversity through the use of SuDS features such as attenuation basins, ponds and swales.
