Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 58905

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: CBC Limited, Cambridgeshire County Council and a private family trust

Agent: Quod

Representation Summary:

We support the aims of a policy to secure an appropriate mix of housing on new developments in principle – but the future Local Plan policy must recognise that some sites where the housing offer is tailored to meet specific needs may not reflect a broader housing mix. We suggest ensuring that any future policy has flexibility to allow for important locations such as the Campus to develop a housing mix to suit their specific needs, with suitable site specific policies that can govern such exception sites.
