Decision details

Approve the Cambridge Local Development Scheme 2014 to reflect the production of an area action plan for Cambridge Northern Fringe East.

Matter for Decision

Cambridge City Council is required to maintain a Local Development Scheme (LDS). An LDS sets out a timetable for the production of new or revised Development Plan Documents (such as a Local Plan or Area Action Plan).

Following the recommendation of the Joint Strategic Transport and Spatial Planning Group on 6 February 2014 to commence the preparation of an Area Action Plan for the Cambridge Northern Fringe East area and amend the LDS, it is necessary for the Council update the LDS with the latest timetable and publish it on the Council website.
