We have strong concerns that the level of employment growth forecasted and the supply of homes proposed is not high enough and not best located.
The Councils’ development strategy relies heavily on development at Cambourne and in Cambridge’s urban area, as well as existing new settlements. This creates an inflexible development strategy that is unable to respond to faster/higher growth rates. It provides little contingency if any of the sites are stalled or slow to build out and does little to distribute growth to meet the needs of the area – particularly towards the eastern side of the plan area.
