The Proposed Grange Farm Development in the draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan – Consultation open from 3rd August to the 25th September

The Greater Cambridge Draft Local Plan includes a new housing development of 4500 houses sited north of the A1307 at Abington and adjacent to ther A11. There are only two proposed access roads – one on to the A1307 – and no indications as to where the water to support such a large new development would come from. This proposal is a significant threat to a historic rural landscape and we think it is important that every resident can see the proposals and form a view for themselves. Not surprisingly there is a campaign group coordinating concerns about the proposals based in Abington called SAVE (Save Abington Village Environment).

Attached to this page is a short briefing paper and the first presentation given by SAVE at a recent briefing for other local Parish Councils.

You can express your views on this proposal in the consultation on the draft Local Plan which will be open from 3rd August – 25th September. When the consultation is open it will appear here:
