Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Question 49

Representation ID: 30376

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: Cottenham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The impact of the proposed transport interchange and the development of residential and commercial property on neighbouring villages has not been assessed. However there is a real potential cost to the neighbouring villages in terms of road usage and congestion as the CNFE development proposed will have a significant adverse effect in congestion, pollution and general loss of amenity.
The plans need to be extended to include provision for better public transport and roads within a semi circular radius of 10 miles from west to East adjoining the CNFE site.

The impact of the proposed transport interchange and the development of residential and commercial property on neighbouring villages has not been assessed. There is much comment in the plan about seeking to reduce car transport use age within the CNFE area and more generally within Cambridge.
However there is a real potential cost to the neighbouring villages in terms of road usage and congestion as the CNFE development proposed will have a significant adverse effect in congestion, pollution and general loss of amenity. The existing rural roads such as the ones passing through Cottenham will not be able to cope with increased levels of usage that the CNFE will generate. As a starting point research and proposals should be developed to devise a strategy to mitigate these issues. For example the plans need to be extended to include provision for better public transport and roads within a semi circular radius of 10 miles from west to East adjoining the CNFE site.
