Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 60319

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Gladman Developments

Representation Summary:

In terms of housing mix, Gladman would recommend that the Local Plan avoids a prescriptive housing mix requirement, rather that the policy should allow for schemes to determine the most appropriate housing mix for the particular location. The Plan could include an indicative mix which may be encouraged if appropriate rather than a strict requirement. The housing provided will need to reflect the needs across the area and any policy will need to be flexible and recognise that the specific housing needs may change over the course of the plan period.
