Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Exceptions sites should only be granted permission if they have the full support of local communities/Parish Councils. Concern about market housing being included within this policy. Custom/self build will also create scheme management and maintenance issues, due to unpredictability of length of build and that the properties will be 'built and sold on'- which negates the aspiration of this policy to create stable communities. Resale of self builds should be restricted for at least 5 years after completion.
