Background Information: The study investigates the levels of demand for and supply of student accommodation in Cambridge, and its impact on the local housing market. The results of the new study will support the council in dealing with Local Plan hearing sessions on student accommodation, which should take place in 2017. The study helps the council understand whether it is making adequate provision for students over the plan period and may require consequential modifications to the emerging Local Plan to be agreed by Development Plan Scrutiny Sub-Committee prior to the modifications going forward to Full Council.
