Spent an afternoon at south cambs district council with reps from parish councils being briefed on various developments in the planning world. All a bit dry, but Ken Winterbottom from Whittlesford PC and Anthony Cooper from Thriplow PC both asked some killer questions.Because the district council is the planning authority it is starting on preparation of a new South Cambridgeshire Development Plan, which will set out the planning policies to guide the development and use of the land in the district up to 2031.
Part of this exercise is a call for land that could be used for housing. This runs to Friday 29 July 2011.
Why does it matter? The call for land has the effect of allowing developers the opportunity to try to bring their plans back to life - such as the 12,000 houses proposed for a site called Hanley Grange.
