Great Shelford Parish Councillors feel that there is too much emphasis on an unrealistic definition of affordable housing and not enough on truly affordable housing and social housing. Affordable at 80% of market value in Great Shelford is not affordable for the majority of people who wish to live there, close to family.

If possible, it would be good to see restrictions on buy to let.

We would also support action to prevent building of new homes whilst others lie empty, whether intentionally or through neglect.

Flats or houses for young, single professionals would be a boost as there is no post graduate provision by the Universities.

Cllrs feel that houses do not make community. It needs to have the infrastructure around it.
