Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for consultation
Policy S/JH: New jobs and homes
Representation ID: 208386
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: NIAB Trust
Agent: Ceres Property
To deliver the necessary homes and jobs, and redress the current fall in housing land supply, as recognised at NPPF paragraph 73, it will be important that the allocations include a range of small and medium sized sites to promote development, maintain consistency of supply and to meet the needs of small and medium Enterprise housebuilders.
Allocate additional small and medium development sites to provide greater flexibility and help mitigate against slow or non-delivery of strategic sites.
On behalf of NIAB Trust, please find attached enclosed our Greater Cambridge Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation response in relation to Park Farm, Histon.
This submission relates to HELAA Ref. 40241, HELAA Ref. 40232, HELAA Ref. 40236, and HELAA Ref. 200772.

Policy S/GB: The Cambridge Green Belt
Representation ID: 208387
Received: 30/01/2026
Respondent: NIAB Trust
Agent: Ceres Property
Section 13 of the NPPF requires Green Belts to be reviewed as part of the plan making process and
encourages the use of previously developed land and grey belt where this aligns with the promotion of sustainable development and the development strategy. Once reviewed, Green Belt boundaries should then not need to be altered at the end of the plan period. Paragraph 155 confirms the circumstances where the development of homes, commercial and other development in the Green
Belt should not be regarded as inappropriate and paragraph 156 sets out the Golden Rules which apply to land proposed for release from Green Belt for housing. The NPPF also indicates that significant weight should be given to development proposals which comply with the "Golden Rules" set out for grey belt development.
The amendments introduced by the revised NPPF to Green Belt policy, and particularly the assessment of Grey Belt, mean that this site can now be positively assessed.
Review the Cambridge Green Belt in line with the revised NPPF and update the development strategy to account for any reasonable development options on grey belt land.
