Cottenham Neighbourhood Plan - submission consultation
Representation ID: 167655
Received: 25/03/2019
Respondent: Gladman Developments
Representation Summary:
Support Parish Council (PC) commissioning AECOM to undertake housing needs assessment. Question why PC 'corrects' AECOM scenarios to take account of local constraints recognised in Local Plan to provide a 'more realistic constrained number'. Evidence provided by AECOM identifies housing need figure up to 716 dwellings over plan period.
Local Plan elevates Cottenham from Minor Rural Centre to Rural Centre recognising sustainability credentials of Cottenham. PC should not be seeking to restrict level of growth to this settlement. Plan should take a positive approach to growth in this sustainable location.
