Great Shelford Parish Council does not understand the justification for the increase in houses with 10% over the Government’s budget. Though it is understood that Greater Cambridge Shared Planning has said that the Government has under estimated what is needed in the area, it is felt that this is poorly justified, being based on a 5-year-old report that clearly did not take into account recent wide-ranging events such as the Covid pandemic or Brexit.
We are concerned that the plan does not meet the infrastructure needs of the new residents with a lack of health, policing, leisure and other areas not considered which are the fundamental building blocks for society.
