J/NE: New employment and development proposals
Representation ID: 59261
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Cambourne Town Council
Cambourne Town council would request the following statement be revised.
"Recognising that a number of business parks are located in the rural areas of South Cambridgeshire these key employment sites outside the Green Belt were identified in the Local Plan 2018 as ‘Established Employment Areas in the Countryside’. It is proposed to continue this designation for the sites previously identified to support their continued evolution:
• Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne;"
Is this still appropriate as South Cambs District Council aim to develop a large proportion of the site as residential or should it be clarified?

H/AH: Affordable housing
Representation ID: 59271
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Cambourne Town Council
Cambourne Town Council , while accepting that the aim of the policy is to have 40% appropriate on most developments, consideration should be given to a stepped approach. New settlements subject to location (those close or adjacent to Cambridge would be able to support a higher percentage due to access to existing provision) and any expansion of Cambourne should have a threshold of 30% for affordable homes. see full comment for explanation
Cambourne Town Council , while accepting that the aim of the policy is to have 40% appropriate on most developments, consideration should be given to a stepped approach. New settlements subject to location (those close or adjacent to Cambridge would be able to support a higher percentage due to access to existing provision) and any expansion of Cambourne should have a threshold of 30% for affordable homes. Existing settlements have a low percentage of affordable homes and new developments will help to raise the percentage of affordable homes therefore providing homes where they are needed meaning that family members do not need to move out of their community when they leave home aiding their health and wellbeing. Cambourne has been developed with 30% affordable housing which has proved a sustainable community. That is able to provide the facilities and infrastructure needed to support the health and wellbeing.
