Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57888

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Claire Schofield

Representation Summary:

The entire projection of housing needs seems to be based on these two reports from a single external consultancy. Given the importance of these projections, there should be more than one professional opinion sought.

New projections need to take into account changed travel and working patterns post-pandemic.
