Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Proposed Submission

The Parish Council felt that there were issues with the following aspects:
• The grouping and boundaries of the areas identified.
• The consultation process.
• The importance of countryside frontage to the character of the village.
• The clarity and presentation of the consultation documentation.


The Parish Council therefore urgently request that the findings on grey belt sites in Great and Little Eversden
be set aside and that they are removed from the plan.

The Parish Council discussed the new Grey Belt classification and how this relates to the parish.

The Parish Council was advised by their County Councillor that it may comment on any aspect of the Local Plan and could provide reasons why particular areas of land within the parish should not be identified as Grey Belt.
Concern was expressed regarding areas labelled LE10, LE9 and LE7, which were considered to be important to the countryside frontage and character of the village.

The Parish Council felt that the grey belt consultation was a confusing and poorly presented document and many found it difficult to locate all the information, which was presented in an overly confusing format.

Councillors also expressed concern that the maps were difficult to interpret as roads were not clearly shown, making it difficult to understand the areas being referred to.
The general view of the Parish Council was that the consultation process and presentation of the information were confusing and unsatisfactory.
