Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59148

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Silverley Properties Ltd

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

Land south of Newington, Willingham (HELAA site 59349)

The proposed development strategy for Greater Cambridge directs the majority of growth to the Cambridge Urban Area, the edge of Cambridge and new settlements. Only a very small level of growth is directed to the Rest of the Rural Area. Silverley Properties are of the view that the Council should deliver a greater number of smaller allocations to ensure that there is a supply of housing that can be built out sooner within the plan period, according with the NPPF. Land South of Newington, Willingham is a site that could be built-out quickly, with no undue physical constraints on development.
