We would like to see some real imagination and forward thinking here -- which becomes part of the identity of this new development. What environmental features or initiatives will people boast of in 10 years time?

We strongly support the creation of a safe route for bikes and pedestrians along Coldham's Lane between Cherry HInton High St and the Barnwell Road roundabout, so that there is safe, non vehicular travel to Sainsbury's and so that cyclists can pick up the Coldham's Common route and the Chisholm trail. This would benefit existing residents as well as those in the new neighbourhood and create community cohension. The Tins Route is not going to be attractive to those in LNCH; it takes them too far west before they head into the city centre and has a pinchpoint.

Whilst much of the plan looks good, there doesn't seem to be any area in which kids could kick a football around. Or play a game of netball, or do some skateboarding. Imperative then that the playing fields of the secondary school are accessible to local young people at weekends and school holidays.

Given the number of unfilled places in the existing local primary schools, it is questionable whether the provision of a primary school on this site is in the best public interest and represents best value for the taxpayer. The effect of a 2FE rather than single form entry primary risks making at least one of the existing schools unsustainable. In addition, primary school playing fields rarely serve the whole community as they are fenced off.

We want this school to be as small as possible to prevent the traffic jams that will result from children being delivered from all over Cambridgeshire to a highly academic school, which is not located on any public transport route. There is no market need for a large secondary school in this area, and the new development will not produce teenagers for some considerable time, since young families are most likely to be moving into new housing. This school should thus be delayed as long as possible.

We support community facilities that form bridges between existing and the new community so that it comes to think of itself as an extensive of Cherry Hinton Village. We urge planners to consider what kind of facilities might achieve this purpose. We are happy to serve as a 'link organisation' since geographically St Andrew's is at the border of the two communities, and historically, this church has knit together the community, and has a track record of almost 1000 years in creating and caring for this place.

We want to underscore how important it is to the active residents of Cherry Hinton that this 'village identity' is somehow carried through to the new development, which should be a new 'neighbourhood' of our village. We think the name should be something like 'North Cherry' so that the link is made very obvious. There is a strong sense of place in Cherry Hinton and we hope we can import this to the new development. We hope there will be funding for community development experts to help new residents get involved in existing civic organisations and events.

We support this aspiration but know that if the needs of future residents are to be planned for, people must be in place to listen to whoever moves in and to run the groups and events that will help a community to form. Building a community hall is not enough. We will be on the ground, and would like to help manage and direct community facilities. We would like an acknowledgement in planning that people have spiritual needs and emotional needs which different faith groups are well placed to address, and the Church of England well placed to coordinate.

We would invite you to consider whether the anticipated spend of section 106 money will be the optimal use of these funds for either the new or existing communities in the local area. We do not want the situation currently occurring in the university's North Cambridge development where a primary school was opened too soon because section 106 monies had to be spent. There may be more imaginative ways to build community than the standard school build.
