Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

We consulted on the draft Plan from 27 July 2020-5 October 2020. These pages hold the draft Plan that we consulted on, for your reference.



How the draft Plan is structured

The Vision page contains a summary of the proposals and ten big questions we asked you to answer during the consultation.

Context, objectives and proposed policies

The other sections set out the context, the strategic objectives, and the proposed policies that will shape what can be built in the area, where, and how. These include technical standards and other criteria. Once the Plan is adopted, all planning applications in the area will have to show that they comply with these policies, before they are granted consent.

We also asked you for comments on these sections and the policies within them:

On each policy page we set out:

  • What you told us about the topic in previous consultations
  • How we have taken your comments into account
  • What the proposed policy is
  • Why we are doing this
  • What evidence has been taken into account when developing the policy
  • How we will monitor whether this policy is successful.

There is a full list of policies for reference as well as a list of Acronyms and a Glossary.
