This policy illustrates further the lack of distribution in housing sites across villages within South Cambridgeshire. The Council don’t want to allocate housing to areas that are reliant on car travel, yet many of the rural centres have been allocated little or almost no development. The evidence base is not representative of sustainable rural centres like Histon and Impington and the Council should give further consideration to the delivery of housing in these locations. The settlements in South Cambridgeshire have tight settlement boundaries and the availability of land within these boundaries for future housing development is limited.
