Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57146
Received: 10/12/2021
Respondent: Oakington & Westwick Parish Council
The Local Plan posits a very significant increase in housing within Greater Cambridge. It assumes that sufficient water will be available to meet housing needs. However, the Greater Cambridge Local Plan strategy (https://www.scambs.gov.uk/local-plan-initial-evidence-findings-published/) states that there is inadequate supply of water for the proposed housing.
No clear proposals are put forward within the strategy documents to resolve this water situation.
The entire housing strategy therefore has no basis in reality!
