The policy for rural exception sites should ensure that First Homes exception sites do not replace traditional exception sites as the preferred type of delivery. Within the Greater Cambridge Housing Market the traditional form of exception site helps to meet local needs. Given the scarcity of rural exception sites further flexibility within the Green Belt should be allowed for traditional rural exception sites where there is a demonstrable local housing need.
