The four themes for the Local Plan of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Green spaces, Wellbeing and Social Inclusion and Great Places go to the heart of the building blocks necessary to create new communities. Such communities provide all those involved with the ability to deliver communities which in their own right provide all which new residents and occupiers need rather than seeking to retrofit urban extensions onto the edges of settlements where facilities and infrastructure do not always or readily lend themselves to sustaining significant amounts of additional growth. A whole new settlement in the right location provides a real opportunity for substantial growth which can connect into transport networks and avoid the need to continue to release sensitive Green Belt land or land which is unconstrained by neighbouring uses and limited infrastructure. Job creation is equally essential as the delivery of housing and without growth in a planned way the objectives of Greater Cambridge will not be realised. New communities can be shaped from inception with the quality of spaces and buildings being at the heart of design principles established early on. Their location is key as the new community will play a key role in supporting existing established communities and links between those communities, covering all aspects, are therefore very important.

"A Local Plan must demonstrate that it has discharged its statutory Duty to Co-Operate with neighbouring authorities and other relevant organisations to ensure that it is sound. Without due consideration of crossboundary issues, including housing requirements and economic functions, a Plan will not have demonstrated its requirements as contained within the Duty to Co-Operate. Although the Greater Cambridge Local Plan is at an early stage of its preparation, it is vital that is able to demonstrate that it has engaged and taken into appropriate consideration cross-boundary issues. These issues will influence the strategies of the new Plan, including the approach in achieving residential and other types of development across the Local Plan area. Those issues which have been identified within the Issues and Options document address significant considerations which will inform the trajectory of the Plan during the preparation process. It is considered that those areas of concern relating to cross-boundary factors are appropriate. However, engagement with housing need and the cross-boundary influences that impact on this need should be strongly considered as a central component of the spatial strategy prepared as part of the new Greater Cambridge Local Plan. Although it is recognised that the Cambridge HMA is relatively self-contained, with a travel to work area similar in size and pattern to the housing market area itself, this should not result in a Plan which reduces the significance in cross-boundary impacts on the ability of the Planning Authorities in delivering their housing needs. For instance, given that the neighbouring authorities are generally unconstrained, with no Green Belt, it is likely that they will be able to meet their own needs within their own jurisdiction. As such, there may be lesser need for Greater Cambridge to assist in accommodating cross-boundary housing numbers. However, it is considered that the emerging Local Plan must take into account the impacts that a rapidly growing local economy will have on these cross-boundary issues. This includes the result of strategic infrastructure projects, such as East-West Rail and the Oxford-Cambridge Expressway which will open the housing market up further to additional influxes of people commuting to the expanding job market within Cambridge. This in turn will have a material impact on strategic residential need as a result of increasing demand and exacerbate housing costs. A careful approach to cross-boundary considerations is therefore required, to ensure that the new Plan remains responsive to these issues given that they arise from outside the Local Plan area and are beyond the control of the Local Authorities. Summary of Comments: The list of cross-boundary considerations is appropriate, however the Local Plan should acknowledge the degree of importance and signifiance to each."
