Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 3714

Received: 21/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Veronica Zwetsloot

Representation Summary:

Looking at the 5 point plan, a new settlement at Dennybrook would not reduce the use of cars. 10800 houses will have at least 20,000 cars and the transport network and connectivity of this development does not lend itself to that much traffic. The roads are small, rural lanes, the proposed new station at Tempsford is a significant distance away which would not favour walking or cycling during inclement weather. The new station will be separated from Dennybrook by the railway , the A1 and A428, People wanting to travel south will have to go to St Neots anyway!
