Cambourne West (land north west of Lower Cambourne)
No reserved matters application has been made for housing as yet although the Council states that this is anticipated in autumn 2019. The information published by the Councils' confirms that the site has multiple landowners. Additionally it confirms that the site is currently controlled by the developers via an option with the land purchase to take place once the reserved matters for housing is approved. This information is clearly contradictory, although it is considered the second statement more accurately sets out the position. There will clearly need to be land deals made outside of the planning process once the first reserved matters for housing is approved. The above clearly calls into the question the deliverability of the site and the information presented does not constitute evidence that housing completions will begin on site within five years. The site should therefore be removed from the trajectory.
The information contained within the uploaded Housing Land Supply Assessment makes clear that the Councils', whether considered separately or jointly, are not able to demonstrate a five year housing land supply of deliverable sites in accordance with the requirements of the NPPF.
