Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Proposed Submission

Comment

Representation ID: 213986

Received: 24/09/2026

Respondent: Cambourne Town Council

Cambourne Town Council supports the principle of growth at Cambourne North, subject to the development being delivered as a fully integrated extension of Cambourne rather than a separate settlement. The Council seeks a clear infrastructure-first approach, ensuring healthcare, schools, community facilities, public transport and active travel links are delivered before or alongside housing occupation. Strong connectivity across the A428, protection of Cambourne High Street as the town's primary centre, delivery of employment opportunities, long-term stewardship of green infrastructure, climate resilience measures and the retention of village identity are essential. These requirements should be embedded within the Local Plan's final policies.
