Greater Cambridge Local Plan Issues & Options 2020

Housing: Thank you for consulting Fenland District Council (FDC) on your Local Plan Issues and Options consultation document. FDC recently completed their Issues and Options consultation which includes housing need figure of 11,550 dwellings between 2019 and 2040. We welcome the long term strategy of your Local Plan, with the same proposed end date of 2040.

Nothing chosen

In response to Question 5, FDC is content that section 3.6.5 identifies the broad areas for consideration in relation to cross boundary issues.

As you are aware FDC is working on a shared evidence base for the Strategic Housing Market Assessment and Gypsy and Travellers Accommodation Needs Assessment with other Cambridgeshire and surrounding authorities. At this early stage, FDC is unaware of any strategic matters which might arise between the two areas. We would like to be informed of the progress of the Great Cambridge Local Plan and welcome further discussion as the Plan progresses. To confirm, at the present time, FDC is not seeking to accommodate any unmet housing need from Greater Cambridge (should any such unmet need arise), nor ‘offload’ any need arising in Fenland to Greater Cambridge.
