The Sustainability Appraisal which supports the Regulation 19 Draft Local Plan must consider Grey Belt allocations as an alternative scenario should the Authority require greater levels of growth, which may include a review of Green Belt release to accommodate additional allocations.
This representation has been prepared on behalf of Corpus Christi College pursuant to the Greater
Cambridge Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation and Call for Sites exercise (2026). This letter has
sought to set out that the Land at Bury Farm, Stapleford (HELAA Reference 208861) is sustainable Grey Belt land which should be allocated for residential development to meet the identified needs of GCSP which aim to deliver 48,132 dwellings across the plan period (2024 – 2045).

The Consultation Draft NPPF (2025) sets a clear intended direction of travel within Policy GB3(1a) which notes Green Belt boundaries should be altered through the preparation of Local Plans where this would enable the development of land around stations. Whilst until the Draft NPPF (2025) is adopted it will carry limited weight and the Greater Cambridge Local Plan is to be examined against the NPPF (2024), GCSP should consider the intended direction of travel for future policy and consider land (including Green Belt land) for allocation that is well connected to train stations.
