Land - for building on

At south cambs this evening for a meeting with parish councils.

SCDC needs to prepare a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) as part of the evidence base for the new South Cambridgeshire Development Plan. The SHLAA is a technical assessment that will identify sites that are potentially suitable for housing.

Click to take you to the maps of the land that has been put forward by developers and land-owners, and which was discussed in general terms.

Officers reckon a fraction of the land put forward will be needed to meet housing needs. Clearly housing round Cambridge is a good return on investment. Some of the land that was "Hanley Grange" is there again.

Process will take three years, with first step being a technical review of the land offered up - eg flood plains. Then public consultation in June next year, with decisions the following year.
