New Joint Local Plan – Have your say.

It is a very exciting time for Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District Councils, as we are preparing a new joint Local Plan together that will affect the future of Greater Cambridge over the next 20 years.

This consultation will be called Greater Cambridge Local Plan – The First Conversation and will start the discussion about the kind of place we want Greater Cambridge to be in the future. It will explore the ‘big themes’ – climate change, biodiversity, social inclusion and great places – that will influence how homes, jobs and infrastructure are planned, and where growth might go.

Our consultation runs between 9am Monday 13 January and 5pm Monday 24 February 2020. 

The Councils would like to encourage a wide range of people and groups to have their say in what Greater Cambridge should be like and would like as many people as possible to give their views and get involved with the Local Plan process.

During the consultation we will be taking a pop-up ‘roadshow’ to places around the area including shopping centres, schools, community centres and other places where we can reach out to as many people as possible, making it easy for you to spend a few minutes finding out more and sharing your views. Our current list of events is below.

We will also be holding a ‘Big Debate’ on the evening of 18 February, where we are inviting local groups to share their ideas about what should be in the Local Plan, in a fun, provocative and lively public event. If you are interested in being one of the groups to present, or would like to be a member of the audience, please visit the Big Debate booking link by 20th January.

You can explore all the material, and share your views, onwww.greatercambridgeplanning.org

If you would like further information or have any questions please contact us by emailing localplan@greatercambridgeplanning.org  or calling 01954 713183.
