Dear Patsy,

CPSF 2 7 SEP 2013

R E C E I\/ E - 20th September 2013

After listening to your question and answer session at 73 Beaumont Road in August I felt you were overwhelmed by very irate people living within the build of the proposed GB 1 and GB2 sites. I felt most in attendance could not comprehend the issues at stake and got it wrong. I also felt your Department of Planners have got it wrong downgrading what is left of the only entrance into Cambridge that has a rural setting. Planners have destroyed the rural settings of Trumpington, Huntingdon Road, Histon Road and Newmarket Road. This area should be preserved for future generations to come. Your Department's lack of research into the history of these sites is deplorable. As you know I live in the first house on the right hand side coming into Cambridge and we are the most affected owing to the Green Belt issues. Then without reasoning someone places a pin in a map and states we would like to build 230 homes on this ancient site!

We have lived here for 28 years and GB2 has had many developments proposed in that time, all turned down the Southern Relief Road being one of them. Your Department have allowed the most hideous designs of modem houses to go up spoiling this ancient city.

On my own I have talked to developers and asked their opinion on building houses on this site, it was grim listening from the planners point of view.

Please find enclosed my family's reasoning why no building should take place on GBl and GB2, you may find it interesting. We have an abbreviated version on line.

Also I would like to make a presentation at the official hearing as we are the most affected.

Regards,

Terry Beaumont and Family

REASONING

1. The areas of GB 1 and GB2 are defined by the structure plan as "Green Belt" an area of best landscape and an area of restraint.

Cambridge City Archives Secretary of State for the Environment refs:-

JD/CSRR/C/0028/93 JD/CSRR/S/0 102/93 CT /ESB/S/0 1 02/93 DMA/JC/C/0028/93 Southern relief road

Note The above has not been altered at all the only item that has been altered is the City boundary line towards the Park & Ride. It is very remiss of"Planners" to down grade this sensitive environment area. My ref 7 & 70

2) There are approximately 30 main service, pipes, lines, cables etc. crossing the GB2 site, see map, my map 2 and photos 3. Listing a few The main north south gas line crosses this site and must not be built on and a large tolerance of land applied. High power tension lines are buried in a similar manner. Service power cables transit this site to the sub station in Worts Causeway. There are various water mains, Addenbrookes main high-pressure water mains, and general services water mains. At least two service sewage mains, two storm drains both underground.

3) With the above in mind the sheer costs involved in moving, re-routing, and the loss of services to other counties Addenbrookes Hospital and part of Cambridge would take a lot of time and work, the last estimate 1993 three million.

4) We are surrounded by Seven Hills whose drainage descends to the GBl and GB2 sites. We have experienced a lot of local flooding in this area for some time (this is not just surface water). We have two storm drains and a large balancing pond in the Park and Ride. A balancing pond on GB2 site would take up a quarter of the total area of build and planners have not taken this into consideration, see map 4/5 and photos 6.

5) We have a nature trail, north/south, and east/west that has been in use for over ten years and now preserves a lot of wildlife, ref map 2.

6) Depending on the accuracy of the present City boundary and if building permission was granted there several built in "build lines" fronting the south and housing south to north west of site Babraham Road the gas and electricity power lines. Ref map 2.

7) There is already a large buffer zone our neighbours and we would request a larger buffer zone of at least 35 metres. Ref map 2

Page 3: CPSF - Microsoft · 2018. 8. 3. · CPSF 2 7 SEP 2013 R E C E I\/ E - 20th September 2013 After listening to your question and answer session at 73 Beaumont Road in August I felt

8) Depending on the City Boundary lines that would determine the type of housing, either way there would be little land left to make it viable for the GB2 site, a loss of up to 140 houses from estimate.

8a) With the above in mind its difficult to be accurate where the chalk, clay or shingle beds are (a problem of previous surveys). The GB2 site already has much erosion is much lower and is undulating with approximately 2 to 4.5 foot drop, another problem for building entry/exit roads, which would be limited by the small size of the plot. See photos 9(2) planners have not envisaged the deep drop and entry to the GB2 site.

8b) Why the southern relief road was abandoned:-To construct a long cutting in this area would seriously affect the ground, water flows in the gravel bearing strata and chalk fissures. The National Rivers Authority have indicated that such excavation would have unacceptable effects upon the whole of the ground water pattern in the area.

Director of Transportation Cambridge County Council May 1990 see 7 ABCD 8.

9) The effect on wild life would be enormous we have quite rare species of birds, we also have bats, frogs, newts, toads, fie ld mice, shrews, deer and foxes to name a few. We must also draw attention to the importance of the southern setting of the City and argue that substantial development on the site will damage the views of the City from the rising grounds east and south of the site. We must further argue that any development must respect these views, nature trails etc which form part of the recreational use of the Beechwoods, Wandelbury, Magog Hills and Roman Road which runs through the GB site. The quality of the transition from countryside to city and would be destroyed by high-density urban development proposed for GB I and GB2 sites.

I 0) As a historical and ancient site a full site survey of all GB2 must take place and to be much more intensive than the last survey undertaken.

11) City and County councils have gone to great lengths to plant an enormous amount of trees, bushes etc. on Babraham Road around the Park & Ride north/south, Worts Causeway continuing east to the Beechwoods. Undertaken a total survey and put up preservation orders to protect the trees and kept GB 1 and GB2 in the green belt, Cambridge plan 2005.

12) IN SUMMARY WE FEEL "CITY PLANNERS" HAVE FAILED CERTAINLY TO DO PROPER RESEARCH. DOWNGRADED (FOR WHAT EVER REASONS) THE GB1, GB2 GREEN BELT SITES. HAVE FAILED TO RESEARCH THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE SITES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. HAVE KEPT THE FINDINGS OF VARIOUS SURVEYS AND REASONINGS FROM INHABIT ANTS. HAVE NOT NOTIFIED THE NATIONAL GRID WHICH THEY SHOULD DO BEFORE ANY DECISIONS ARE MADE. CITY COUNCILLORS HAVE MADE DECISIONS BEFORE SURVEY/RESEARCH IS DONE BOWING TO WHATEVER PRESSURES FOR JUST A FEW HOUSES. THERE IS SOME DOUBT IN THE NUMBER OF HOUSES REQUIRED BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES AS THE EXPANSION OF CAMBRIDGE CITY COULD IMPLODE.

I can advise you that two planning applications have been submitted to the County Planning Authority by the Director of Transportation on behalf of the County Council encompassing proposals for the construction of the Al310 Cambridge Southern Relief Road between Junction 11 of the Mil and Cambridge Road, Fulbourn (see attached plan) . ·

The proposed scheme forms part of the County Councils transport strategy for Cambridge . The proposed new road would start at Junction 11 of the Mil motorway and run eastwards passing under the Al301 Shelford Road . The road continues across Hobsons Brook and over the Cambridge to London Railway line with a connection to the Al307 Babraham Road/Granhams Road. The route then veers north-eastwards passing through higher ground to join the existing Cambridge to Fulbourn road east of Cherry Hinton .

The scheme also includes two link roads having a combined length of I.Skm, one which makes a connection with long Road to t he north and the other which connects with the existing road system at Addenbrookes Hospital .

The main route will be approximately 6km long with the western section from the Mil junction to the long Road link being a dual carriageway whi lst the remaining eastern section will be single carriageway. Nine junctions are proposed in the scheme including partial grade separation at Shelford Road and six roundabouts . Cyclewayjfootway facilities will be provided from Shelford Road as far as Babraham Road and linking Worts Causeway with limeki 1 n Road .

The planning applications consist of the required forms , certificates and plans together with an Environmental Statement and supporting documentation. A copy of the submitted scheme is available for public inspection on deposit at the following locations during normal opening hours:-

Dear Sir/Madam

Proposed Cambridge Southern Relief Road

Cambridgeshire County Council

Furtner to my letter which acknowledges receipt of your representations on the proposed Southern Relief Road. I have now received a letter from the SecretarY. of State for the Environment which includes information on his current --- - · iintentions on the use of -his "call-in" powers.

In my acknowledgement letter I informed you that the Secretary of State had served a Direction, under Article 14 of the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1988. This Direction has the effect of preventing the County Council from making a decision on the planning application. The Direction will now "remain in force for as long as the Secretary of State considers appropriate" .

On the basis of the information summarised below, it appears to me that the Direction will remain in force until at least early 1995, and that no decision will be made on the planning application before that date.

The Secretary of State intends to consider the case for "call-in" after the Inspector has reported on the forthcoming Inquiry into the Cambridge local Plan. He will then have the benefit of the Inspector's Report and any other representations made to him to inform the position . I am advised by the Department of the Environment that "the case for a separate planning inquiry into the Southern Relief Road will be assessed at the draft Modifications stage of the local Plan having full regard to the rules of natural justice" . Cambridge City Cvuiid1 's :..vca1 P1tan Iiiquii"i t iii1t::tab1e suggest;:; t:-.at tht:: oi·"ft ~1odificcai. icm si.age is unlikely to be reached before the end of 1994.

Following receipt of this information from the Secretary of State I have passed a copy of the letter in which you set out your views to the local Plan Inspector, together with all other representations received. The local Plan Inquiry programme shows that transportation matters including the Southern Relief Road will be heard in late November 1993 . I understand that the City Council and the local Plan Inspector will now consider how these representations can be dealt with in the context of the local Plan Inquiry . I will arrange for you to be notified of the procedure the Inspector intends to adopt .

I apologise for the use of a standard letter, but this is made necessary by the large number of representations received.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir/Madam

CAMBRIDGESHIRE STRUCTURE PLAN CONSULTATION DRAFT PROPOSED CAMBRIDGE SOUTHERN RELIEF ROAD

The Chief Planning Officer has passed to me a copy .of the letter in which you make representations about the proposed Cambridge Southern Relief Road .

As you may be aware, the County Council is currently undertaking a consultation exercise as part of a review of the Cambridgeshire County Structure Plan. A Consultation Draft Structure Plan Review document has been published which identifies possible changes to the approved Structure Plan. Amongst the possible changes is the incorporation of the Cambridge Transport Strategy into the Structure Plan, including the Cambridge Southern Relief Road. The road is referred to specifically in consultation draft policy SP7/18A as major scheme "the County Council will seek to carry out .. . . .• during the period up to 2001."

The County Council is seeking views on all the possible changes to the Structure Plan. Unless you advise me to the contrary, I intend to treat your letter as a response to the Structure Plan Review consultation exercise rel ating specifically to the inclusion of the Cambridge Southern Relief Road in the Structure Plan. This means that your views will be taken into account when t he Deposit Draft Plan is prepared later in the year.

I will write to you again when the County Council has considered all representations. The current timetable indicates that this is likely to be in June or July 1993 .

If you do not want me to register your letter as representations on the Structure Plan Review, please contact me.

Yours faithfu

Re: Cambridge Local Plan Inquiry - southern Relief Road

Earlier this year you made representation to the County Council in respect of their Planning Application for the construction of a Southern Relief Road.

on 30 April 1993 I wrote to you enclosing a Statement from t he city Council which set out the main elements of the City council's position on the proposed Southern Relief Road . In my letter I stated that, exceptionally, the Inspector would allow objectors to the Planning Application to appear at the Local Plan Inquiry, should they wish to do so, even though these objectors had not made a duly made objection to the Deposit Draft Local Plan.

T< The County Council have now withdrawn their Planning Application . Therefore the exceptional circumstances which justified your participation in the Local Plan Inquiry no longer apply.

Reasons for objection principally include the adverse effect on an Area of Best Landscape and on the setting of the south-eastern part of Cambridge, the road is a development incompatible with the Green Belt, that it will attract more traffic rather than bringing relief, that it is unnecessary, and that it would attract development to the green belt areas to the south of the City, and possible adverse effects on the water table.
