Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57318
Received: 10/12/2021
Respondent: Huntingdonshire District Council
Huntingdonshire District Council agree to Greater Cambridge’s approach to a settlement hierarchy. The approach supports proportionate levels of growth focusing on larger growth in areas with public transport provision. Minor Rural Centres, Group Villages and Infill Villages are afforded smaller development quotas to meet local need and organic growth (providing choice in the housing market). This approach is supported as it should facilitate local development without overwhelming services and facilities and minimising increased carbon emissions as a result of increased commuting by car due to a lack of public transport provision.
