Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for consultation
Policy H/AH: Affordable housing
Representation ID: 208484
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: Carter Jonas
We object to this Policy and to the requirement for affordable housing at 40% to be delivered on Build to Rent and Co-living developments. There is a significant need for these forms of residential accommodation within Cambridge, however they will simply not come forward if there was a requirement for 40% affordable housing to be delivered. This requirement does not conform with the requirements of National legislation.
We also object to 40% affordable housing provision being sought on purpose built student accommodation (PBSA). Again, this is considered unreasonable and would have a significant impact on the future delivery of student accommodation within Greater Cambridge.
In line with National Guidance, any affordable housing on BtR or Co-living should be capped at 20%. There should be no requirement for affordable housing on PBSA. These comments will be subject to any changes to National Guidance.

We object to the supporting information in that the Greater Cambridge Housing Market can support 40% private rent homes. The maximum requirement should be 20% and this is in line with National Guidance.
