Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan - Submission consultation

Representation ID: 167947

Received: 17/07/2019

Respondent: Mr Chris Meadows

Representation Summary:

One of the priorities is housing for local people, but no positive action is identified to address this issue. The Council's latest Housing Information Sheet at https://www.scambs.gov.uk/media/12884/housing_statistical_information_leaflet_2018.pdf identifies the local housing need for Histon at 62 dwellings and for Impington at 48 dwellings - see pg.5. It is not clear how those needs will be met unless allocations are made in the Neighbourhood Plan. It would help if the Parish Council supported promoted sites through the Joint Local Plan to address the significant housing and affordable housing needs.
