Question 16. How should the Local Plan help us achieve 'good growth' that promotes wellbeing and social inclusion?

By rebalancing the local economy, responding to housing need and resisting comparable increases in employment. This will require driving a hard bargain with central government who want Cambridge to go on laying the golden eggs of tech growth irrespective of the threast that unrestrained employment growth entails for social inclusion. his will require an evidence based assessment of what growth is optimal, and what is sustainable in the sub-region , which the planning authorities have not so far been able to carry out

More consideration for social housing and temporary accommodation for the homeless.

There are numerous matters relevant here which are all reflected in the adopted local plans: • Inclusion of affordable housing; • Include low cost starter homes in new larger developments; • Proximity of housing to nearby employment (and vice versa); • Proximity of housing to non-car means of transport; • New tree planting or biodiversity enhancements in all developments; • Quality of place-making; • Car-sharing and communal transport arrangements; • Staggered operating hours to reduce peak hour traffic/travel impacts; • Enhanced public transport generally; • Technology to allow home and flexible working; and • Large developments to include new allotments, community woodlands/orchards, wetland creation etc.

There are numerous matters relevant here which are all reflected in the adopted local plans: • Inclusion of affordable housing; • Include low cost starter homes in new larger developments; • Proximity of housing to nearby employment (i.e. Ickleton which is adjacent to Wellcome Genome Campus and nemberous employment at Duxford) and non-car connectivity; • Proximity of housing to non-car means of transport; • New tree planting or biodiversity enhancements; • Quality of place-making; • Car-sharing and communal transport arrangements; • Enhanced public transport generally; • Technology to allow home and flexible working; and • Large developments to include new allotments, community woodlands/orchards etc. Additionally, given national changing demographics, greater attention in policy terms should be given to the housing needs of the elderly. Sheltered housing and care home providers currently have to compete with mainstream housebuilders for land which can be problematic. If this sector is to grow, then planning policy needs to encourage more specialist forms of housing either through site allocations or as an element of large schemes.

One idea among many: Encourage more cycling with accessible cycling routes. Not everyone can afford or can drive a car. Young and elderly people in particular could hugely benefit from a new and no longer car-centric planning perspective.

By redefining 'growth', avoiding the old GDP-centric meaning and adopting the newer environment-sensitive meaning.

By providing a level of growth in villages that can sustain existing facilities and further promote wellbeing and social inclusion.

Force developers to address local housing need rather than the most profitable developments (i.e. large expensive properties). This would help improve the diversity and sustainability of our community.

Stop prioritising bio-sciences/hi tech industries at the expense of everyone else - decent, exciting, well-paid work for everyone should be the priority, there should be much more focus on jobs which support a green economy - e.g. agroecological farmer training, land stewardship, arboriculturalists etc

There are numerous matters relevant here which are all reflected in the adopted Local Plan: • Proximity of housing to nearby employment; • Inclusion of affordable housing; • Include low cost starter homes in new larger developments; • Proximity of housing to non-car means of transport; • Large residential developments to be situated within close proximity to existing and planned public transport corridors; • New tree planting or biodiversity enhancements; • Quality of place-making; • Car-sharing and communal transport arrangements; • Enhanced public transport generally; • Technology to allow home and flexible working; and • Large developments to include new allotments, community woodlands/ orchards etc.

New developments, even relatively small ones, to have easy access to community facilities such as a community meeting space and play spaces for children. Include simple measures like pedestrian crossings on roads outside the development that would make it easier to connect to existing local centres. Do not forget the needs of the less mobile members of the community do not longer cycle and cannot walk far, or have to use wheelchairs.

By locating development close to employment and service provision and investing heavily in open spaces, dedicated, lit, cycle and pedestrian routes as well as public transport the Plan can help to promote wellbeing and social inclusion.

It is considered that meeting housing and affordable housing needs is part of the well-being and social inclusion theme because housing falls within the social objective of sustainable development (as set out in Paragraph 8 of the NPPF). There are substantial affordability issues in Greater Cambridge associated with the high cost of buying and renting housing, and those that cannot afford to live in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire close to employment opportunities having to endure longer commuting. Paragraph 8 and Chapter 8 of the NPPF identifies the other factors that relate to the wellbeing and social inclusion theme, which are about creating well-designed and safe developments, providing access to services and facilities, and providing open space. It is suggested that to achieve ‘good growth’ the emerging GCLP will need to allocate suitable sites that deliver housing and affordable housing, are accessible to services and facilities, include open space and recreation facilities. The promoted development at land off Limekiln Road in Cambridge would include housing and affordable housing, and open space and other green infrastructure. Cherry Hinton has a good range of services and facilities including recreation facilities, which are accessible from the site by walking and cycling.

There are substantial affordability issues in Greater Cambridge associated with the high cost of buying and renting housing, and those that cannot afford to live in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire close to employment opportunities having to endure longer commuting. There is also evidence of a substantial need for housing for older people’s housing and care both locally in Stapleford and across Greater Cambridge. Paragraph 8 and Chapter 8 of the NPPF identifies the other factors that relate to the wellbeing and social inclusion theme, which are about creating well-designed and safe developments, providing access to services and facilities, and providing open space. It is suggested that to achieve ‘good growth’ the emerging GCLP will need to allocate suitable sites that deliver housing and affordable housing, are accessible to services and facilities, include open space and recreation facilities. The sites at land east of Hinton Way and land west of Haverhill Road in Stapleford were promoted through the call for sites process for either residential development including market and affordable housing (Class C3) or a retirement village (Class C2); as set out above there is a need for all these types of housing. This is set out in detail on page 4 of our Exhibition Boards. The promoted developments, for housing or a retirement village, would include open space and other green infrastructure. Stapleford has a good range of services and facilities including recreation facilities. The sites are accessible by walking and cycling. The sites are very well related to Greater Cambridge Partnership’s proposed public transport route from Haverhill and Cambridge, and it is proposed that there would be stops at or in close proximity to both sites. It is considered that the promoted developments, for either housing or older peoples housing and care, would contribute towards ‘good growth’ for Stapleford and for Greater Cambridge.

The promoted development at land off Home End in Fulbourn would include housing and affordable housing, and open space. The site is located adjacent to the recreation ground in Fulbourn, which provides a range of facilities.

Create a public but closed BIG skatepark (just for members who follow the civic and "how to use" rules). So it can be managed by people from the comunity, or just opened with a card access for all the registered members, providing a good area for socialise and make sport. It needs to be big enough to fit all the children and begineers as well as the amateurs or professionals. With just a big one in a centric place (Jesus Green for example) will be enough for everyone. Important to be covered (by the rain) and lights on the night, as a lot of people can not skate during the day because of school or work.

The site is accessible to Fulbourn Recreation Ground, which provides a range of facilities.

By promoting development strategies, policies and site allocations which will help deliver wellbeing and social inclusion. The College as part of the University of Cambridge is acutely aware of the range of incomes in the City and its surrounding areas, including the affordability issues faced by residents, as well as its own students, staff and support workers. It therefore supports the Local Plan’s objectives for “good growth”.
