Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57319
Received: 10/12/2021
Respondent: Huntingdonshire District Council
Greater Cambridge has taken a sensible approach to settlement boundaries by taking into account present and proposed development. Periodic reviews may need to be made to the policies map to ensure that the boundaries remain up to date in the event of windfall or rural exceptions development. Huntingdonshire District Council agree that small clusters of buildings, isolated properties and hamlets should not be provided with a settlement boundary and should be considered as countryside. This will enable the character of the area to be preserved and countryside and landscape impact to be minimised.
