Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report seeking its agreement to a new Local Development Scheme (LDS) for Greater Cambridge, as it applies to South Cambridgeshire. Such Scheme would guide the preparation of a new jointly prepared Local Plan for Greater Cambridge and a jointly prepared Cambridge Northern Fringe Area Action Plan.

 

The Joint Director for Planning and Economic Development explained the alternative processes available under Sections 28 and 29 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as summarised in paragraph 21 of his report. The Leader emphasised the importance of early engagement with stakeholders.

 

Councillor Philippa Hart said that the intention was to include an article about the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018 in the next edition of the South Cambridgeshire Magazine. Important points to communicate to residents included anticipated timescales and the reason why the preparation of the next Local Plan would follow so quickly after adoption of the previous one. Care was needed in managing expectation.

 

Those present discussed Governance arrangements set out in paragraph 9, and the significance of both Cambridgeshire County Council and the Cambridge and Peterborough Combined Authority in the local planning and transportation context. Processes needed to be inclusive.

 

Following adoption of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan on 27 September 2018, Cabinet

 

(a)             Adopted the new Local Development Scheme for Greater Cambridge, prepared jointly with Cambridge City Council, such Scheme confirming the intention to prepare:
