It is good that the Local Plan recognises the need for grid reinforcement.
“6 Further Work and Next Steps
At this stage, while we know that grid capacity is a potential constraint for new development, much of the evidence that already exists is on the basis of the current development plan set out in the 2018 Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire local plans”.
Whilst however there is recognition of the need for strategic electrical energy supply planning, there appears to be no committed way forward. Without adequate power, the Local Plan will not succeed. The issue must be addressed.
