Decision details

To consider the contents of a draft Huntingdonshire Local Plan (Regulation 18) consultation from Huntingdonshire District Council and agree an appropriate response.

The Planning Portfolio Holder agreed that a consultation response be submitted based upon the following:

“Huntingdonshire are consulting on their draft Local Plan between the 4^th July and 4.30pm on the 25^th August. They intend to consult again in late 2017 on a Proposed Submission Local Plan and submit their plan for examination in March 2018. The plan includes strategic scale developments at Alconbury to the north of Huntingdon and at St Neots East. The plan proposes sites to meet all of the objectively assessed housing need in the district. Overall its draft policies and proposals are considered to be an appropriate response to the planning challenges affecting Huntingdonshire insofar as it affects South Cambridgeshire. The plan is also considered to be consistent with the agreed duty to cooperate documents relating to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area.” (paragraph 10 of the report)
