Councillor Deborah Roberts proposed that a decision be deferred until officers had considered the effect of the draft Waterbeach Neighbourhood Plan. This proposal was seconded by Councillor Heather Williams. The Delivery Manager (Strategic Sites) informed Members that the Neighbourhood Plan was still only a pre-submission document and, as such, could not be given any weight. Upon a vote being conducted by roll call, the proposal was defeated by seven votes to four. Councillors Ellington, Roberts, Heather Williams and Wright voted to defer, Councillors John Batchelor, Bradnam, Cahn, Fane, Heylings, Milnes and Rippeth voted against deferral.

Upon a vote being conducted by roll call, and by seven votes to nil with four abstentions, the Committee approved the amended Waterbeach New Town West Key Phase 1 Design Code. Councillors John Batchelor, Bradnam, Cahn, Fane, Heylings, Milnes and Rippeth voted to approve the Design Code. Councillors Ellington, Roberts, Heather Williams and Wright abstained.
