Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

S/DS: Development strategy

Representation ID: 59048

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Emmanuel College

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

Emmanuel College Sports Ground, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge (HELAA site 40380)

It results in a reliance on too few sites to deliver the significant majority of the Local Plan housing need. To re-risk a failure to deliver the housing requirement or a rolling five-year housing supply, it needs to allocate more smaller-sustainable sites; to add resilience to the housing supply by introducing more sites that can come forward at different stages in the housing market and economic cycles.
