Villagers want 4,000 new Bourn Airfield homes to have A428 access

A parish councillor insists there must be greater transparency and a full consultation process over the failure to provide direct access onto the A428 from a planned new 4,000-home development at Bourn Airfield.

Cllr Des O’Brien, of Bourn Parish Council, told the county council’s economic and environment committee last week that they have concerns over a draft supplementary planning document for the airfield.

Cllr O’Brien says South Cambridgeshire District Council has accepted a Highways England decree that ‘technical’ issues prevent it from including vehicle access to the A428.
