Cambourne Town Council , while accepting that the aim of the policy is to have 40% appropriate on most developments, consideration should be given to a stepped approach. New settlements subject to location (those close or adjacent to Cambridge would be able to support a higher percentage due to access to existing provision) and any expansion of Cambourne should have a threshold of 30% for affordable homes. Existing settlements have a low percentage of affordable homes and new developments will help to raise the percentage of affordable homes therefore providing homes where they are needed meaning that family members do not need to move out of their community when they leave home aiding their health and wellbeing. Cambourne has been developed with 30% affordable housing which has proved a sustainable community. That is able to provide the facilities and infrastructure needed to support the health and wellbeing.
