Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

LATE REPRESENTATION
On behalf of Westley Waterless Parish, I would like to put on record the following comments about the SCLP.

Strategy
Figure 4 - support the locations of proposed new housing development 2020-2041
Policy S/JH - agree that the Plan should formulate proposals based upon the forecast of the most likely level of new jobs
Policy S/DS agree with the proposed policy direction and consider that Figure 6 showing proposed sites to be included in the Plan represents a sustainable spatial response to the proposed development strategy. Support the fact that no new settlement is proposed around Six Mile Bottom and agree with the comment at page 39 that further new settlements should not be allocated
Policy S/RRA - endorse Figure 43 showing site allocations in the rest of the rural area which does not include SMB

Greater Cambridge HELAA Appendix 4 (Part C)
Refer to Site 40078 at pages 1419-1425
Agree with the red assessment of impact upon the local landscape. But it must be noted that the overall evaluation has been based upon a development of 2,000 dwellings whilst the Concept Vision produced by L&Q Estates / Hill Residential Ltd. in February 2020 describes Westley Green as having the potential to deliver up to 8,500 dwellings. The Westley Green Concept Framework shows a very large site extending into East Cambridgeshire and the impact of such a development form will have a significant deleterious impact upon a much wider landscape and existing communities. That scale of development will have a much greater impact upon local infrastructure such as water supply than the more limited assessment contained in the HELAA.

Have ECDC formally requested that the Plan should accommodate some of its future housing provision around SMB?

Kind regards
