The Planning Portfolio Holder considered a report on proposed modifications to the submitted South Cambridgeshire Local Plan relating to Policy S/12 (Phasing, Delivery and Monitoring and its supporting text, including Figure 4: Monitoring Indicators). This Policy was an essential element  in making the Local Plan sound. The report had been prompted by a request from the Inspectors examining the Local Plan, who had asked the Council to review the monitoring framework and requirements set out in its Local Plan.

Cambridge City Council would be considering proposed modifications to its own Local Plan on 27 July 2017. In doing so, the City Council was likely to bear in mind the outcome of today’s meeting, given the two Councils’ joint approach to steering their respective Local Plans successfully through the Local Plan Examination process.

Officers and Members discussed the proposed modification relating to Gypsy and Traveller pitches. The Portfolio Holder said that he and his officers were aware of the situation and would do whatever was necessary.
