Background Information: Since consultation on the Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District Councils’ Local Plans published in 2018, and publication of the Greater Cambridge Housing Strategy 2019 to 2023, new issues & priorities have been emerging in relation to new housing development and the affordability of affordable housing. The proposed policies would form a set of new annexes to the Housing Strategy. They would be used, as appropriate: to inform the shaping of new developments planned across Greater Cambridge; to help the councils in responding to planning applications; and to inform the development of the emerging Greater Cambridge Plan. They would also need to be approved through South Cambridgeshire District Council’s own decision making process.
