The Planning Portfolio Holder considered a report about the updated Local Development Scheme (LDS) for South Cambridgeshire.

Full Council had agreed several modifications to the emerging Local Plan on 17 November 2016.  They included the deletion of any requirement to prepare Area Action Plans for new settlements (Waterbeach New Town and the New Village at Bourn Airfield). Full Council had therefore agreed that these would be removed from the LDS.  The revised LDS, attached to the report from the Joint Director for Planning and Economic Development as Appendix A, had been amended to reflect this.   The intention was to produce Supplementary Planning Documents for the New Settlements, but there was no duty to list these within the LDS.The updated LDS also incorporated the latest timetable for the Local Plan, subject to progress with the Local Plan Examination, and a list of neighbourhood areas designated within the district.
