Tomorrow is the planning portfolio meeting at South Cambs District Council and the huge amount of consultation and discussion about the Local Plan that has gone on over the last two or more years takes a critical step towards a decision.
This is about where houses are going to be built and communities grown in South Cambridgeshire from 2016 way into the future.
The proposed developments at Bourne airfield, Waterbeach, Northstowe and -closer- between Sawston and Babraham will be discussed. There were over 7,000 representations last year, and before that, consultation on the call for land that took place in 2011.
Issues of sustainability will be considered, weighing up the demand for new houses against the impact on local communities and the local infrastructure.
Depending on what happens, the Local Plan then goes to full Council, and then, if agreed, submitted to the planning inspector, either as is, or with minor changes, or with limited major changes, or with significant amendments.
I will be there, and I am having a final read through of the key documents in advance.
