Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 58328

As the Local Plan is progressed, the evidence supporting it and the resulting policies must take a holistic view of the combination of different elements, including the historic and natural environment, which make up the character of Greater Cambridge. This is particularly important when considering the edge of Cambridge and the Green Belt. When identifying land for development, how highly land performs against the functions of the green belt must also be considered against the value of the land for its built and natural heritage.
