The Joint Local Planning Advisory Group is
appointed by Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire
District Council. It is a non decision-making joint
member group intended to facilitate the development of a shared
policy understanding to allow the timely preparation of the new
Greater Cambridge Local Plan, coordinated with transport
policy.
In June
and July 2022 members of South Cambridgeshire District Council
(Cabinet) and Cambridge City Council (Planning and Transport
Scrutiny Committee) received reports on feedback received to the
Greater Cambridge Local Plan First Proposals Consultation, and
agreed the timetable for the next stages the local plan
process.
The
next key member decisions (for South Cambridgeshire District
Council’s Cabinet and Cambridge City Council’s
Cambridge Planning and Transport Scrutiny Committee) in relation to
the Draft Local Plan will be:
•
A report to members to confirm the preferred options for the Local
Plan strategy and sites (January 2023)
•
A report to consider the complete draft local plan prior to
consultation (anticipated date of June/July 2023)
Leading
up to these decisions further member engagement is planned, to
explore issues raised in the First Proposals feedback and to help
inform development of the draft plan. This member engagement will
be via the Joint Local Plan Advisory Group (JLPAG), which was set
up with the purpose enabling such discussion.
JLPAG
meetings be scheduled on an approximately monthly basis between
October 2022 and March 2023, to provide an opportunity for officers
to highlight comments received on the First Proposals, drawing out
key issues, and for members to debate the issues in order to help
develop the draft plan.
The meetings will be held remotely (not
hybrid). The meetings will be for JLPAG members but are open to all
members from both Councils to attend remotely, and to speak at the
discretion of the Chair. They will be open to the public as
observers only via livestreams and recordings made available on the
South Cambridgeshire District Council YouTube channel.
