South Cambs consulting on more houses on Arbury Park

Today I received a letter about the consultation Tory run South Cambridgeshire district council are running about trying to squeeze even more housing into the Arbury Park site. This seems bizarre at a time when work on many developments has all but stalled, but does need to be fought.

The two patches (in what the District now calls Orchard Park) are Preferred Sites 1 and 2 on the list. They provide some more information on their website. The document this is based on is hidden away, but linked from here.

The proposals to force more housing into the site at the expense of community facilities is not good sense and will not lead to a sustainable development that people wish to live in. Please get involved by either responding online to the consultation, or writing to Local Development Framework Consultation, South Cambridgeshire District Council, South Cambridgeshire Hall, Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, CB23 6EA.

We will of course be doing the same. See our earlier post for some of the arguments against this development.
