I am opposed to the bridge due to the impact on the historic open space. The views in this area are also noted as requiring protection in the Cambridge Local Plan. The artists impressions are misleading and do not represent the full impact of the associated ramps and lighting on the surrounding area. The locations of the bridge do not appear to have been fully assessed as the bridge seems to link to the east side of the railway tracks, whilst the new station is on the west. No location to the west of the existing rail bridge has been considered. Land to the north of the river appears to have been cleared of trees and vegetation in advance of planning permission being sought.

I can only refer you to Sophie Hyde's comment. She's said it all.

It is a glorious site. Aplace to escape from the hurly burly of life.

Why are we, yet again, considering damaging a natural resource when a crossing already exists a short distance away. I agree with Sophie Hyde, a little walk does no harm.

This is the point on Cambridge's northern side where the city opens up and starts to breathe. It is a resource for the whole city, as a place of beauty as well as natural and ancient historical importance: the site of the medieval Stourbridge Fair, and centuries of traditional grazing. It's also an iconic view. Cyclists can make a small detour to preserve this treasure.

it is not only the destructive element but also that the proposed site is flawed inrespect to the number of people who will use itas it has no direct link to the station.

We live in a growing city that should protect its green spaces, but with the need to recognise that growth brings a need to move around. The two can co-exist with good design.

These precious pockets of ancient meadowland must be protected, cherished and preserved. Once disturbed, lost forever.

Dreadful. It's part of the ongoing destruction of Cambridge environments. Ill thought through and poorly planned.

This is an iconic view - as important to 'book-ending' Cambridge's green space as Granchester and we should keep it as beautiful as it is now. There is no more green space in Cambridge, and there are more and more people!

This natural wildlife area needs protection from plans such as these which put profit and convenience before irretrievable natural resources.
