Planning applications for a Sporting Village and Community Stadium

Many of you will have heard in the past couple of weeks about the Club’s progress with the planning applications for a Sporting Village and Community Stadium. We are now asking for 10 minutes of your time to help us positively affect the outcome by registering your support with the local councils and councillors.

Details of how to do this are attached, along with the most important benefits.

The determination date is set shortly sure to register your support before then. The earlier the better!

 Thanks,

 Cambridge United

Please take 10 minutes to follow the instructions below and register a comment in support of the applications. For more info about the applications click here.
 
Add the  email addresses into the address bar of  the Councillors who represent your ward. Councillors will make the decision of whether or not to approve the planning applications, so showing your support to them is vital.
 
Start your email with a salutation, for example “To whom it may concern,”.
 
Write a paragraph to say why you believe the development of the Cambridge Community Stadium should go ahead. We believe that the key points in favour of this part of the proposal are

• Provision of the new community facilities
• Helps to secure the future of Cambridge United and its Community Trust
• No public money required
  
• Please make this personal to you and avoid copying exact phrases. The more genuine the supporting comments are the more weight they will have!

Again, please make this personal to you and avoid copying exact phrases. The more genuine the supporting comments are the more weight they will have!

Sign off your email making sure to include your address, as Councillors will be motivated to act when they know there is support from within their own ward, but DO NOT SEND YET! Before you send we would like you to copy the relevant parts of the email onto the official planning portals.
