Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
S/JH: New jobs and homes
Representation ID: 58504
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Hill Residential Limited
Agent: Turley
The proposed housing requirement evidently aligns with the Central scenario (58,400 jobs) outlined in the Greater Cambridge Employment Land and Economic Development Evidence Study (November 2020) rather than the Higher Scenario, which results in the First Proposals failing to provide the housing infrastructure that would appear to be needed to accommodate a more ambitious level of employment growth.

Land north of Impington Lane, Impington (HELAA site 40061)
The Council should consider allocating a greater number of small to medium size sites which can be delivered early on in the plan period where they are located in or adjacent to settlements that can offer a good supply of shops and services, schools along with access to sustainable transport. Paragraph 79 of the NPPF is clear that in order to ‘promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Planning policies should identify opportunities for villages to grow and thrive, especially where this will support local services.’

In line with their promotion of Land North of Impington Lane, Impington, Hill Residential Limited consider that the settlement boundary should be amended to include this Site which is currently adjacent to the boundary to be included as part of the allocation of the site for residential development.

S/RRA: Allocations in the rest of the rural area

This policy illustrates further the lack of distribution in housing sites across villages within South Cambridgeshire. The Council don’t want to allocate housing to areas that are reliant on car travel, yet many of the rural centres have been allocated little or almost no development. The evidence base is not representative of sustainable rural centres like Histon and Impington and the Council should give further consideration to the delivery of housing in these locations. The settlements in South Cambridgeshire have tight settlement boundaries and the availability of land within these boundaries for future housing development is limited.
