Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for consultation
Policy S/NEC: North East Cambridge
Representation ID: 202754
Received: 29/01/2026
Respondent: Cambridge Junction / Create Cambridge
I support Create Cambridge in asking that:
• delivery of a cultural anchor (venue, arts centre or artist studios) is required in Phase 1
• cultural provision is not deferred to later phases, where it is at risk of non-delivery
• Create Cambridge is engaged as an advisor/consultee on plans and proposals for cultural infrastructure as part of new developments
Early cultural infrastructure is essential to avoid dormitory development and support identity, cohesion and liveability.

Policy I/ID: Infrastructure and delivery
Representation ID: 202757
Received: 29/01/2026
Respondent: Cambridge Junction / Create Cambridge
I support Cambridge Junction/Create Cambridge in asking that:
cultural infrastructure is recognised as core civic infrastructure
cultural venues are integrated into infrastructure planning, phasing and investment pathways
a partnership-owned Cultural Infrastructure Pipeline is established for new provision and renewal
despite hight cultural participation (classed as “low cultural need”), the Plan recognises that significant investment is required
coordinated public/private/philanthropic investment is enabled, including visitor-linked and locally retained funding, with findings embedded in infrastructure planning
community asset transfer is strengthened with governance support, capital access, enabling genuine community ownership
Create Cambridge is engaged as an advisor on cultural infrastructure, strategy development

Policy S/MO: Monitoring
Representation ID: 202764
Received: 29/01/2026
Respondent: Cambridge Junction / Create Cambridge
I support Create Cambridge in asking that:
• Creative Industries data is disaggregated from the Cultural Sector in future monitoring
• assumptions about resilience and commercial success are tested separately for cultural infrastructure
• the Create Cambridge Insights Report is included as evidence base
This will ensure that future policies and plans are based on accurate economic diagnosis.
