These are the plans that set out how much housing is going to be needed over the period to 2030, and where those houses could be built.
The risk to any council is that the planning inspectors reject the district plan.
That hasn't happened, but what has happened is that the developers have relentlessly put forward their views that they could build more houses more quickly if they were given access to the green belt around Cambridge, rather than the Council's plan for large and sustainable developments such as Northstowe.
The inspectors have suggested that the planning review takes a break while the councils think through some of the emerging thinking from the early rounds of review and respond to this point in particular - which seems sensible.
I'm going to a briefing next week to find out more, and trying to get a neighbourhood plan going for Whittlesford and other villages to try to get some control locally over what gets built.
