Minutes:

Cabinet received the Cambridge South Railway Station consultation response. Councillor Neil Gough, Deputy Leader, introduced the report, and the statutory response to the public consultation. Councillor Dr. Tumi Hawkins, Lead Cabinet Member for Planning Policy and Delivery, mentioned the lack of biodiversity within the current proposals.

 

Councillor John Williams, Lead Cabinet Member for Finance, was disappointed about the lack of biodiversity net gain for the wider project, and a lack of sustainable public transport to Addenbrookes Hospital. The Deputy Leader said the Council would continue to work with Addenbrookes hospital on the masterplan and would ensure the transport between the new station and the hospital would be included in the response.

 

Councillor Heather Williams supported the concerns about the biodiversity net gain but requested that firmer language be used within the consultation response.

 

After a short discussion, the Deputy Leader closed the discussion, and Cabinet:
