Summary

+

The responses to the South Cambridgeshire Council’s proposed development plan reflect a complex and multifaceted sentiment among residents. While there is notable support for the development of a vibrant city district east of Milton Road and the expansion of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, significant opposition exists regarding the potential impacts on local infrastructure, green spaces, and the character of existing villages. Many respondents emphasize the need for sustainable practices, affordable housing, and improved public transport to accommodate growth without compromising the quality of life for current residents. Concerns about overdevelopment, particularly in rural areas and the southern cluster of villages, are prevalent, with calls for preserving the green belt and ensuring that any new developments are accompanied by adequate infrastructure and community facilities. The overarching theme is a desire for balanced development that prioritizes environmental sustainability, community well-being, and the preservation of local identity.
