Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57284

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Universities Superannuation Scheme (Commercial)

Agent: Deloitte

Representation Summary:

USS notes that proposed policy H/HM states that exceptions to the specified housing mix will be allowed where an alternative housing mix is justified by site specific circumstances, such as local character, the built form of the new development, affordable housing demand on the councils’ housing registers, and the existing housing mix in the surrounding area. USS supports this caveat as individual sites often have very different circumstances, which can impact the most appropriate mix of uses.
