Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58582

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: MacTaggart & Mickel

Agent: Rapleys LLP

Representation Summary:

• Papworth Everard will have excellent public transport accessibility following the delivery of several committed transport infrastructure projects. It is therefore a settlement where housing and employment growth should be being allocated in order to:
> Help the village thrive;
> Support the local economy;
> Help meet the emerging local plan’s housing requirement, which should be increased to the higher jobs and homes scenario (Maximum continue existing patterns’);
> Provide greater choice in terms of the location, size and type of housing that the plan can offer; and
> Provide greater flexibility and resilience in the Councils’ housing/development strategy.
