Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

CambridgePPF is concerned about the capacity of the Cambridge Urban area to accommodate the scale of proposed growth, an additional 73,000 people. We are particularly concerned about the inadequate space in the historic city streets and city centre public realm to cater for existing people movement (vehicular, cyclists, pedestrians) – and the ability of the complex local government system to deliver effective solutions (City Council, Cambs County Council, C&P Combined Authority, Greater Cambridge Partnership). The 2018 Local Plan included a requirement for an SPD to address this problem but at the start of 2022 limited progress has been achieved.
