The IDP will help to coordinate infrastructure provision and ensure that funding and delivery timescales are closely aligned to those in the Local Plan. It is a living document which will be updated regularly to incorporate changes in project progress or the availability of funding. 1.2 This IDP supersedes the Fenland IDP adopted in February 2013. The previous document mainly set out the high level strategic infrastructure required to support the adoption of the Local Plan. With an adopted plan (May 2014) now in place this updated IDP seeks to provide a basis for the delivery of the policies in that plan.

  • Trumpington Meadows - Written Representations
    TRUMPINGTON MEADOWS - WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS 20 March 2018 10:19 South Trumpington Parish Meeting considered the proposed parking restrictions at its meeting last night. The Meeting did not support the proposal. There was significant confusion about the scheme, including the availability of spaces for residents (or residents permits) and enforcement. There was also concern about the high cost of visitors permits. The meeting felt that the proposals were over the top given that the Park and Ride parking will be free from April and therefore commuters parking in the development is unlikely to be an issue. The Parish Meeting felt that a more relaxed scheme would be more appropriate and recommend that the proposals are dropped and consultations with the local community groups take place to find an appropriate solution. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am resident of x Charger Road, Trumpington Meadows. I am writing to file my reservations regarding the enforcement of new parking restrictions scheme for Trumpington meadows. I want to highlight the fact that many residents in this new housing complex have only one allocated parking and they have to rely on the parking bays on the roadsides for parking the second car. It is usually the case where families often need two cars needed by both husband and wife in order to carry out daily routines like, office, school runs, etc. My reservation is that the residents should be allowed to use the additional spaces on the roadside. Or an alternative parking for the residents shall be provided in order to accommodate those having two cars. When I bought the property couple of years back, I was told by Barratt that I can use these additional parking bays to park my second car.

  • Circumambulation May 2020
    A CIRCUMAMBULATION OF CAMBRIDGE, MAY 2020 Early May 2020 was a ,me for some considera,on. The UK and much if not all of the rest of the world had become subject to the spectre of social quaran,ne. So, what to do? Some thought of doing this and some of doing that, and many might have thought of doing something else en,rely. We looked at eachother and decided we’d go for a walk. But where? A walk can be undertaken for exercise, or for rumina,on, or indeed s,mula,on. We are not that energe,c: the griLy purposefulness of runners and pounders and hikers seems very purposeful, but it seems to be all eyes forward and swea,ness and expensive clothing. We don’t do that. We want to wander and gaze about. Cambridge is an economically thrusOul city – it’s a boom town – and this, naturally, translates into it being a demographically thrusOul city. It’s burs,ng its boundaries – it’s so aLrac,ve that great tracts of land all around it are being converted from farmland to housing. It’s a very topical topic in Cambridge – is this a good or less than good thing? So, let’s go and have a look. Picture Cambridge as a gourmand. It would say that it has a discerning palate and that it chooses its dishes with prescience and precision. It is well-fed. It is one of the first in line when goodies are being proffered, and it maintains it chooses only the most piquant and the most appe,zing.

  • Pow Camps Details Issue 3-17
    Banged Up Abroad 1 Research and Notes The information and specifically the tables within this document are a key part of my research into my Banged up Aboard project in which I am seeking to capture as a series of documentary and indexed images the site of the former World War Two (WWII) Prisoner of War (PoW) sites in England, Scotland and Wales1. In complying this data it has become evident that the Camp numbers for whatever reason have been duplicated and a camp may have had more than one number as such it is acknowledged that discrepancies exist within not just my table but also with the source information. This may have in some cases camps being moved from one location to another, a camp being divided and given two number such as one for German one for Italian, or one number for Officers and a different number for other ranks. Also many “Subcamps exist for which I have in the most part been unable to obtain the Camp, in cases like this they have been given a nominal number of 00. The intent is to capture the sites as they are now although as part of the research, I will also be accumulating images and data as to the sites when they were in use during and slightly after the end of WWII. It is intended that the images captured as part of this project will form a historic data source for other to come. This as a project is being undertaken by myself Martin J Richards as an integral part of a Mater in Arts Degree being undertaken by myself through the University of Falmouth: Martin J Richards BA(Hons) ARPS [email protected] [email protected] www.systonimages.co.uk https://systonimagesblog.wordpress.com/ https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=17IZRxuX4uc78_KP5EBdWCD44x0pXaSsc&ll=53.95552704319698%2C- 1.9461109999999735&z=6 It is anticipated that in addition to the basic documentary images produced as part of this project other images and videos along with written work will be produced for formal exhibition.

  • 7 CULTURAL HERITAGE Introduction Legislation and Policy
    Trumpington Meadows ES Chapter 7: Cultural Heritage TMLC 7 CULTURAL HERITAGE Introduction 7.1 This chapter deals with the cultural heritage issues arising from the proposed development at Trumpington Meadows. Cultural heritage issues were identified during the scoping process as being of primary importance. The area to the south of Trumpington lies within a much broader zone of archaeological importance, which has been the subject of intensive study over the last few years. The site directly abuts the southern boundary of the conservation area covering the whole of the historic village of Trumpington and the settings of a number of important historic buildings. The chapter considers all categories of cultural heritage, such as historic landscape character and features, extant historic buildings and archaeological sites and monuments. 7.2 The specific objectives were to: • establish the cultural heritage baseline within and adjacent to the proposed development site • consider the area in terms of its archaeological potential and historic environment • assess the potential impacts of the construction and post-construction phases on the heritage resources identified • define measures to mitigate any predicted significant negative impacts where appropriate. 7.3 The full reports by Cambridge Archaeological Unit can be found in technical appendix C. An archaeological strategy has been produced based on the findings of this chapter and to implement the proposed mitigation measures (technical appendix C). Legislation and policy 7.4 The importance and intrinsic value of cultural heritage is recognised in legislation at national level. Certain features are protected by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

  • Trumpington Meadows
    Trumpington Meadows A report on the CNHS Field Studies area of 2012 Jonathan Shanklin The Cambridge Natural History Society visited the area being developed as Trumpington Meadows for its field studies in 2012. In addition to the housing development, the area includes a country park and farmland. This report discusses features of the site, whilst a diary giving highlights of the monthly visits is available on the Society web pages. We logged over 1200 records of 438 plant species, and also recorded other phyla. Record sheets for the area are available on the Society web pages. Each year since 2004 the Cambridge Natural History Society (CNHS) has selected a different area of the city for extensive study over the course of a year. Areas close to the city have been chosen to allow participation by students and others without easy access to transport. The long term intention is to have a rolling programme with return visits to sites after a decade. Primarily these studies have concentrated on the vascular plants, however other phyla have been recorded, usually on an ad hoc basis. Whilst many of the study areas may be considered as lacking in interest, the detailed studies have revealed axiophytes (desirable, though not necessarily uncommon plants) and red-listed species growing in them, some of whose presence was previously unknown. Although this year we had hoped to cover the Cambridge University North West Cambridge site prior to its development, permission was not Map of the area © OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA.
