Respondent: Gladman Developments

The Council's five year supply position set out within the September 2019 report is considered to be marginal, with only a small level of oversupply identified. It would therefore only take one site not to deliver for this position to negatively affect the supply position.

Having reviewed the Councils' Five Year Housing Land Supply Assessment, Gladman do not consider this to provide a realistic and accurate position. Whilst the document does provide detailed site-by-site evidence and justification for a number of the assumptions made, Gladman consider there to be a number of sites where the assumptions applied are overambitious or not realistic. Gladman believe the housing land supply position for Greater Cambridge currently falls short of the required 5 years, and that this position is likely to remain for the next few years.
