Representation Summary:

The requirement and purpose of a Place book as required by part 3. of Policy S/CBN is unclear and therefore at risk of not being effective. The policy additionally requires the preparation of a masterplan and design codes. The NPPF 2024 definition of a Design Code includes “…The graphic and written components of the code should build upon a design vision, such as a masterplan or other design and development framework for a site or area”. The reference is to a “masterplan or (our underlining) other design and development framework for a site” refers to Masterplans and design codes. The requirement for a Place book in addition to a masterplan and design codes has not been justified.

Representation Summary:

Whilst it is clearly important that a mixed community is created at Cambourne North, the prescriptive requirement for 10% of the dwellings as specialist accommodation in part 9. of Policy S/CBN would have an impact on viability and, moreover, may not meet an identified need over time. To be effective over the long term over which the policy will be implemented, the policy needs to be more flexible and require delivery at levels as determined through local needs analyses to be undertaken throughout the delivery period of the development.
