From YouTube: Greater Cambridge Local Plan - First Proposals Webinar
Description
Greater Cambridge Local Plan Webinar held on 7 September 2021
A
Welcome
to
our
webinar
on
the
greater
cambridge
local
plan,
the
first
proposals
as
you'll
have
just
heard
the
announcement
this
is
being
recorded
so
that
we
can
put
it
on
our
youtube
channels
and
on
our
website
after
the
event,
because
we
know
there
are
some
people
who
would
like
to
watch
it.
Who
may
not
be
able
to
attend
this
evening
and
any
questions
that
we
can't
answer
this
evening,
we'll
answer
in
writing
as
well
and
we'll
put
them
up
on
our
website
as
well
over
the
next
couple
of
days.
A
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
little
bit
of
an
introduction
now
to
say
where
we
are
in
the
process,
as
always
with
the
webinars.
Please
put
questions
into
the
q,
a
we'll
answer
them
once
we've
gone
through
the
presentation
and
hopefully
pick
up
as
many
as
we
can
and
as
I
said,
those
that
we
can't
pick
up
tonight,
we
will
answer
in
writing.
A
So
we
held
a
first
conversation
consultation
in
early
2020.
As
many
of
you
know,
that
was
an
issues
and
auction
stage
consultation,
so
that
was
really
about
the
big
picture,
some
of
the
opportunities,
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
new
plan
might
have
to
face
to
hear
what
all
of
you
thought
and
many
people
across
the
whole
area.
A
A
You
can
see
at
the
bottom
here
the
timetable
for
the
plan,
so
this
is
just
one
stage
in
many
further
stages
of
plan
making.
This
is
the
first
time
we're
putting
something
on
the
table
for
in
terms
of
proposals.
Suggestions
for
the
plan
we'll
go
to
a
full
draft
plan
next
year,
proposed
submission
plan
the
year
after
that,
and
there
are
full
public
consultations
at
both
of
those
stages
as
well,
and
then
it
goes
through
to
the
secretary
of
state
and
to
into
the
examination
process.
A
A
It
includes
the
vision
and
aims.
It
includes
the
overall
amount
of
development
that
we
think
we
should
plan
for
the
main
sites
we
think
should
be
developed
and
some
of
the
key
policy
proposals
that
we
think
should
be
implemented
in
the
new
plan.
So
it's
not
a
fully
formed
plan.
You'll
see
that
when
we're
talking
to
the
talking
about
the
thematic
policies,
for
instance,
we're
talking
about
proposed
policy
direction,
we're
not
saying
in
chapter
and
verse.
A
A
Alongside
the
first
proposals,
we
publish
a
really
large
amount
of
the
evidence
and
the
underlying
research
that
has
informed
the
plan
and
that
can
all
be
read
on
our
digital
document
library.
So
there
are
topic
papers,
one
per
theme
and
one
for
the
development
strategy
and
a
number
of
reports
and
research
papers
that
form
the
evidence
base,
including
their
housing
and
economic
land
availability
assessment,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later.
A
Those
two
things
we
think
should
go
hand
in
hand.
We
want
to
look
at
reducing
carbon
emissions
and
particularly
reliance
on
private
car,
creating
thriving
neighborhoods,
that's
about
having
the
right
variety
of
jobs
and
homes,
not
just
one
kind
of
jobs,
not
one
kind
of
homes
suits
everybody,
increasing
nature,
wildlife
and
green
spaces.
We
we
know
that
biodiversity
in
green
spaces
is
a
really
important
theme
for
our
communities
and
for
our
councillors
and,
of
course,
safeguarding
our
unique
heritage
and
landscapes.
A
We've
studied
the
area
in
depth
and
we
we
want
to
build
on
that
and
not
lose
what
is
character
and
important
about
it,
but
also
looks
to
the
future.
This
is
a
plan
for
the
next
20
years,
so
it's
important
that
we're
future
facing.
We
look
at
technology,
we
need,
we
look
at
new
trends
and
we
harness
them
to
bring
the
vision
to
fruition.
A
How
has
this
informed
the
plan?
Well
that
that
overarching
vision
sits
above
seven
objectives,
aims
that
are
thematic,
so
these
correspond
to
the
themes
of
the
plan.
So
each
theme
has
a
broad
overarching
aim
that
helps
to
guide
the
policies
that
sit
within
that
thematic
area
and,
overall,
those
themes
have
influenced
where
we
choose
to
suggest
sites
for
development
and
where
how
how
our
green
infrastructure
strategy
comes
forward
and
many
other
parts
of
the
plan.
So
they
really
do
intersect
very
strongly.
It's
not
that
they
sit
in
silos.
A
They
work
together
as
a
whole,
and
I
think,
what's
something
that's
really
special
about
this
plan
is
that
we
have
looked
at
them
from
the
start
very
holistically.
They
aren't
bolt-ons
after
the
event,
they
have
been
looked
at
from
the
start,
with
very
detailed
research
and
evidence
behind
them
and
have
heavily
influenced
the
choice
of
sites
that
we've
put
forward
in
the
first
proposals.
B
Thank
you
hannah
good
evening,
everyone.
So,
yes,
the
local
plan
is
a
formal
planning
document.
We
have
national
planning
policy
guidance
through
a
framework
that
the
government
prepares
that
sets
out
how
we
have
to
prepare
our
plans,
and
that
says
that
we
have
to
identify
what
it
calls
our
objectively
assessed
need
for
housing
and
for
other
uses.
B
B
And
if
we
plan
for
fewer
homes,
that's
likely
to
have
a
number
of
different
effects.
If
we
don't
provide
the
homes
in
greater
cambridge,
then
assuming
the
jobs
are
still
created,
then
people
are
going
to
have
to
commute
from
further
afield,
and
that
has
implications
for
climate
change
and
for
congestion.
We
know
that
location
is
the
biggest
single
factor
in
climate
emissions.
B
Housing
could
also
become
in
shorter
supply
and
even
more
unaffordable,
and
we
know
affordability
is
already
as
a
serious
issue
in
this
area
and
also
we
have
to
prepare
a
plan
that
responds
to
our
evidence,
and
hannah
mentioned
the
independent
examination
that
comes
at
the
end
of
the
plan.
Making
process
and
it
needs
to
be
found.
Sound
is
the
term,
and
that
means
that
it
has
to
be
positively
prepared
and
unders
and
responds
to
to
the
evidence.
B
So
when
we're
determining
planning
applications,
if
we
don't
have
what's
called
a
five-year
supply
of
housing
land,
then
then
there
can
be
real
challenges
in
us.
Controlling
speculative
development
in
in
areas
and
and
that
would
be
similar
to
could
potentially
be
similar
to
the
area
that
was
exp
situation.
Experience
in
south
cambridge
here,
while
the
last
plan
was
going
through
through
its
process.
So
it's
a
serious
risk
and
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
of
that.
B
So
summing
that
up
in
terms
of
our
objectively
assessed
needs,
we
say
we
need
to
provide
for
44,
400
new
homes
over
the
plan
period
and
58
and
a
half
thousand
new
jobs
and
that's
jobs
across
all
sectors,
so
businesses,
industry,
as
well
as
retail
and
leisure,
and
education
and
healthcare.
So
that's
all
a
full
range
of
jobs.
B
It's
also
will
be
important
that
we
understand
the
needs
of
our
gypsy
and
traveler
community,
but
that's
one
of
the
studies
that
has
been
affected
directly
by
by
kobe,
because
it
requires
face-to-face
interviews
so
that
that
study
has
been
held
up.
But
as
we
move
to
the
draft
plan
stage,
understanding
and
meeting
the
needs
of
our
travel
community
will
be
an
important
part
of
the
new
plan.
B
So,
looking
at
that
visually,
the
the
the
brown
houses
are
what
we
have
today
or
in
2020,
and
the
dark
green
houses
are
houses
we
already
have
in
the
pipeline.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
recognize
that,
through
our
current
plans
and
planning
permissions
already
granted,
we
have
over
37
000
homes
already
in
our
in
in
our
pipeline,
that
we
anticipate
will
be
delivered
in
our
new
plan
period.
B
B
It's
it's
good
practice
to
have
an
element
of
flexibility
built
into
the
plan
and
when
we're
proposing
a
around
about
a
10
buffer
to
give
that
flexibility,
so
that
if
one
or
more
sites
that
are
identified
in
the
plan
do
not
end
up
being
able
to
come
forward
for
some
reason
or
come
forward
more
slowly
or
later,
that
we
have
some
flexibility
in
the
plan
to
continue
to
meet
our
needs.
As
we
move
forward.
B
So
when
you
look
at
that,
current
pipeline
of
housing
that's
distributed
in
a
range
of
different
locations,
some
sites
on
within
and
on
the
edge
of
cambridge,
so
eddington
the
university
development
in
the
north
west
of
cambridge
that's
coming
forward
and
also
darwin
green.
There
developments
are
north
and
south
of
the
airport
at
mali
and
north
of
cherry
hinton
proposal
sites
down
at
walt
paul's
way
and
southern
on
the
southern
fringe,
with
clay
farm
and
trump
into
meadow.
B
So
a
mix
of
sites
already
coming
coming
forward
around
cambridge
and
then
some
new
settlements
campbell
west,
an
earlier
expansion
of
cameron
born
already
in
under
construction,
born
airfield
new
village.
Now,
with
outline
planning,
commission
northstowe
a
significant
number
of
housing
coming
forward
there.
Now
it's
really
getting
established
and
and
building
out
well
and
water
beach
new
town
also
has
permission
for
both
parts
of
the
new
town.
So
a
significant
amount
of
provision
already
within
our
pipeline,
as
well
as
some
village
sites.
There.
B
B
So
once
we've
undertaken
that
work,
we
understand
our
need.
We
looked
at
the
sites,
then
then,
how
do
we
go
about
developing
the
the
preferred
strategy
that
we're
now
putting
through
the
output
to
consider?
So
we
looked
at
the
findings
of
all
our
evidence.
That's
the
other.
The
interim
evidence
we
published
in
november
last
year
that
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
and
the
new
evidence
that
we've
undertaken
since
then
and
have
now
published
with
with
the
committee
papers
and
we
tested
as
part
of
that,
a
range
of
different
spatial
options.
B
So
we
looked
at
the
sites
in
the
heater
against
the
aims
of
of
the
strategy.
What
would
be
the
best
the
best
sites,
so
we
narrowed
down
from
that
very
long
list
of
sites
that
I
mentioned
earlier
to
look
at
over
a
170
sites
that
we
thought
fitted
broadly
with
that
overall
strategy
approach,
and
that
was
subject
to
sustainability
appraisal
and
from
that
whole
wider
process.
B
We
narrowed
down
to
a
strategy
that
includes
19
new
sites
in
the
first
proposals,
so
you'll
appreciate,
that's
a
very
small
proportion
only
about
three
percent
of
the
total
sites
that
that
we
we
assessed
and
eleven
percent
of
those
that
went
through
the
sustainability
appraisal
process
and
looking
at
those
sites
and
their
distribution.
The
orange
sites
are
the
existing
sites.
I
talked
about
that
are
already
in
our
current
plans
and
now
very
very
many
of
them
building
out
or
with
planning
permission
and
then
the
dark
purple
sites.
B
B
Therefore,
the
new
sites
are
primarily
in
and
on
the
edge
of
cambridge,
and
also
we've
identified
canborn
as
a
broad
location
for
development
and
I'll
come
back
and
talk
about
that
in
a
moment,
and
only
four
percent
of
additional
homes
proposed
at
villages.
As
I
said,
green
infrastructure
really
important
alongside
development,
but
before
I
go
through
the
individual
sites,
one
thing
to
be
really
clear
about
what
our
evidence
has
shown
is:
there
are
real
challenges
in
this
area
about
water
supply.
B
There
are
some
still
some
questions
over
that
and
we'll
talk
about
that
further
on
in
in
the
briefing,
but
just
to
be
really
clear.
Before
I
run
through
the
strategy,
we
are
clear
that
this
is
our
preferred
strategy
only
and
if
that
inadequate
and
appropriate
water
supply
can
be
provided,
and
by
that
we
mean
a
sustainable
water
supply
that
isn't
going
to
cause
unacceptable
harm
to
the
chalk
aquifer
and
the
chalk
streams
in
in
particular
and
john.
B
B
B
B
So
most
of
them
stayed
as
as
in
the
current
plan.
The
only
change
is
cotton
them
which
does
not
and
is
not
proposed
at
this
stage,
to
have
one
of
those
high-quality
public
transport
connections
to
cambridge
and
therefore
we
propose
that
cotton
and
gets
reduced
so
and
then,
as
we
as
I
said,
the
strategic,
green
infrastructure,
green
infrastructure
and
access
to
open
space
as
well
as
open
space.
B
That
is
not
so
much
about
access,
but
it's
about
biodiversity
and
and
really
how
we
have
a
still
a
a
strong
and
vibrant
countryside
and
rural
area
around
our
our
development
and
we've
undertaken.
One
of
one
of
the
new
types
of
evidence
that
we
did
this
time
is
a
green
infrastructure
study
that
looked
really
carefully
at
the
special
characteristics
of
different
parts
of
greater
cambridge
and
looked
at
where
there
is
potential
to
really
take
advantage
of
some
of
those
characteristics
to
expand
into
new
strategic,
green
belt.
B
So,
looking
now
at
those
different
types
of
location,
cambridge,
urban
area,
I
mentioned
that
that's
the
most
sustainable
location
with
best
access
to
services
and
facilities
within
within
the
heart
of
cambridge.
The
main
proposal
within
cambridge
is
in
north
east
cambridge.
As
we've
defined
it
that
red
area
at
the
top
there,
which
is
around
the
cambridge
north
station,
it
includes
the
cambridge
science
park,
it's
it's
a
brownfield
site,
it's
a
site
that
has
been
looked
at
over
a
number
of
plans,
but
the
limitations
of
the
existing
water
treatment
works.
B
There
has
really
constrained
any
serious
reuse
and
regeneration
of
that
brownfield
site
with
the
proposal
by
angling,
water
to
relocate
the
water
treatment
works
out
of
cambridge.
That
does,
if
that
gets
its
development
control
order
process
successfully.
Then
that
would
be
a
really
good
opportunity
for
regeneration
of
that
part
of
cambridge
using
a
brownfield
site
and
northeast
cambridge
came
out
very
well
in
a
whole
range
of
our
evidence.
B
So
they're
around
the
station
area
around
grafton
center
and
a
number
of
other
locations
also
being
carried
forward
from
the
cambridge
plan,
are
a
number
of
opportunity
areas.
There
are
a
number
around
places
like
mitchum's,
corner,
long
mill,
road
around
the
station
and
hills,
road
and
and
several
others,
but
we
are
proposing
a
number
of
new
opportunity
areas,
we're
suggesting
that
the
new
market,
road
retail
park
and
also
the
nearby
beehive
center
as
areas
of
very
large
retail
sheds,
with
significant
amounts
of
car
parking.
B
As
I
say,
we're
not
relying
on
anything,
but
we
are
identifying
those
as
opportunity
areas
the
abbey
stadium,
either
through
making
best
use
of
that
site
or
if
an
alternative
site
were
identified
through
potential
redevelopment
and
shy
hall
and
castle
park
area
up
castle
street
there.
With
the
with
the
relocation
of
the
county
council's
offices
there
edge
of
cambridge
the
the
key
news
sites
here
are
at
cambridge
east,
where
we
are
talking
about
bringing
forward
the
safeguarded
land.
B
B
We
have
not
identified
that
there's
a
need
to
release
land
from
the
green
belt
to
meet
our
overall
numbers,
but
we
have
looked
to
see
whether
there
are
site-specific
reasons
for
releasing
any
land.
So
we
we
looked
at
the
marshall
proposal
to
expand
further
out
into
the
green
belt
and
we
not
being
persuaded
that's
an
appropriate
or
necessary
thing
to
do.
B
B
It's
a
site,
that's
very
close
to
the
existing
main
line
station
there,
which,
with
the
new
cambridge
south
station
at
biomedical
campus,
has
really
strong
sustainability
credentials
and
it's
it's
a
site
which
still
would
have
some
impacts.
We
recognize
it
would
have
some
impacts
on
green
belt
and
landscape,
but
it
also
it's
not
in
the
highest
category
of
impact
according
to
our
evidence.
So
we
have
looked
at
that
carefully
and
we're.
B
We've
proposed
a
different
type
of
configuration
of
site
to
those
that
were
put
to
us,
but
we're
proposing
a
site,
a
great
shelf,
with
four
members
consideration
and
then
looking
at
the
rest
of
the
rural
area.
There
are
several
sites
we're
proposing
here,
two
sites
down
in
melbourne,
one
a
mixed-use
site.
Next
to
the
science
park
for
a
mix
of
housing
and
employment
and
then
a
smaller
site
at
moore
lane
melbourne
a
site
at
highfield's
caldecott,
which
is
a
site
can,
with
with
some
existing
development
happening
near
nearby.
B
That
we
feel
is
a
a
rounding
off
of
the
village
there.
Also
at
highfields
is
a
proposed
proposed
employment
actually
technically
in
in
dry
drayton,
but
on
the
sydney,
its
road
there
or
just
outside
of
the
newborn
airfield
development
and
a
smaller,
a
smaller
site
at
station
road
oakington.
That's
the
other
greenbelt
and
only
other
greenbelt
site
in
the
rural
area.
B
B
I
think
the
other
ones
just
to
mention
specifically,
are
at
the
a14
services,
proposing
some
for
some
industrial
and
warehousing
development.
There's
a
small
to
medium
scale
recognizing
in
particular,
changes
in
in
retail
patterns
to
enable
transfer
of
goods
from
larger
to
smaller
vehicles,
and
we
identified
a
smaller
site
at
the
top
end
of
cotton
and
a
couple
of
an
opportunity,
potentially
in
the
within
the
line
of
the
bypass
at
law.
Stanton.
C
C
Caroline
has
also
already
mentioned
how
seriously
water
is
considered
in
our
our
strategy
decision
making.
There
are
some
quite
significant
proposals
already
planned
in
the
wider
area.
Some
new
reservoirs
north
of
cambridge
that
will
help
deliver
additional
water
resources,
but
they
are
longer
term
so
into
the
2030s.
C
What's
also
being
explored
is
whether
they're
more
available
interim
measures
such
as
connecting
up
with
other
suppliers,
which
would
potentially
take
pressure
off
the
aquifer.
There
are
water,
separate
water
planning
processes
underway
to
look
at
these
issues
the
issues
being
noted
as
an
important
one.
At
the
oxford
cambridge
art
level,
there
is
a
regional
water
planning
process
being
undertaken
as
well
by
the
water
companies,
and
we
need
to
understand
the
outcome
of
that
process.
So,
in
a
way
you
know
we
are
at
an
early
stage
in
our
planning.
C
They
are
now
going
to
almost
catch
up
with
us
and
overtake.
So
as
we
get
towards
later
stages
of
the
plan,
we
will
know
the
outcome
of
that
process
and
the
implications
for
the
the
planning
strategy.
We're
looking
at
just
to
emphasize
the
councils
do
take
the
issue
very
seriously.
We
do
take
opportunities
to
highlight
this,
a
government
level
and
other
opportunities
to
highlight
to
relevant
bodies,
to
make
sure
this
issue
is
being
fully
addressed.
C
Our
next
big
theme
was
green
infrastructure.
We
consulted
back
at
the
first
conversation
on
your
ideas,
for
where
green
infrastructure
is
important,
and
then
we've
now
completed
our
green
infrastructure
opportunity,
mapping
project
and
identified
a
series
of
major
greener
structure
opportunities
that
could
be
the
focus
of
investments
coming
out
of
our
development
and
the
focus
of
stakeholders
also
helping
to
deliver.
C
C
We
know
that
some
of
these
new
communities
that
are
planned
or
already
planned-
and
I
propose,
in
this
consultation,
take
a
long
time
to
develop
and
those
early
communities
take
a
long
time
to
build
up
into
into
places.
So
one
of
the
things
I'm
proposing
is
to
seek
meanwhile
users
on
sites
to
help
those
communities
grow.
So
how
can
we
use
temporary
buildings
and
so
on
to
create
those
uses
up
front
in
the
very
early
days
of
those
communities?
C
Heritage
is
absolutely
key
to
that
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
looking
at
the
heritage
impact
of
future
proposals
in
the
area,
but
also
we
want
to
propose
even
more
innovation
in
the
area
of
how
we
can
help
our
heritage
assets
adapt
to
climate
change
on
our
home,
no
jobs
policies.
Next,
a
lot
of
these
will
be
fairly
familiar
in
the
way
that
they
seek
to
guide
where
employment
proposals
might
be
suitable
within
and
on
the
edge
of
and
in
our
employment
areas,
so
some
familiar
territory.
C
If
you're
familiar
with
the
old
plan,
we
have
got
some
new
policies
here,
such
as.
Should
we
be
asking
for
large
employment
areas
to
include
areas
of
affordable
workspace
that
could
help
a
range
of
businesses
set
up
in
our
in
our
communities
as
well
as
just
those
sort
of
you
know
larger
high-tech
firms,
for
example,
we
also
are
trying
to
look
at
what
we
might
do
for
retail
and
our
centers,
because
we
all
know
retail
is
changing
rapidly.
C
C
We
also
look
at
other
issues
such
as
visitor
accommodation
issues
around
airbnb
and
the
role
planning
can
play
in
those
issues
that
sometimes
they
cause
on
the
homes.
Again,
there's
a
lot
of
familiar
policies
in
here.
We
still
want
to
seek
high
levels
of
affordable
housing-
that's
really
important
and
to
make
sure
the
homes
were
built
at
the
right
space
standards
and
they
meet
the
range
of
different
occupiers.
C
We
know
parking
is,
is
a
difficult
one.
There
are
areas,
certainly
in
cambridge,
where
it's
possible
to
go
for
very
low
levels
of
parking,
because
you've
got
real
alternatives
at
the
car
available,
but
in
villages
often,
you
still
need
to
have
parking
so
I'll
be
trying
to
take
a
design
that
approach,
but
one
thing
you
think
is
important:
is
our
sites
need
to
start
including
charging
charges
for
electric
vehicles?
C
We
think,
because,
obviously,
that
change
is
coming
very
quickly
and
they
should
really
be
included
through
the
developments
themselves
and
then
energy
infrastructure
master
planning,
we're
already
doing
some
work
on
this
in
northeast
cambridge.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
energy
needs
are
planned
up
front
as
part
of
developments
to
make
sure
they
look
at
what
they
need
and
how
it
can
be
delivered
in
a
sustainable
fashion
and
on
digital
infrastructure.
Our
previous
plans
required
the
basics
such
as
including
ducting,
so
you
could
get
cables
into
dwellings.
C
C
A
A
So
you
can
see
that
that
lasts
for
the
next
month
or
so
after
that
we
will
discuss
with
members
what
changes
are
made
to
the
first
proposal
before
we
finalize
them
for
consultation,
and
you
can
see
that
full
public
consultation
is
currently
scheduled
to
start
on
the
1st
of
november.
That
will
be
a
mixed
method.
Consultation.
We
hope
to
do
face-to-face
as
well
as
online
consultation
there.
A
We
are
testing
our
new
digital
planning
platform
at
the
moment
and
we're
glad
to
publish
using
that
ahead
of
time,
so
we
can
get
feedback
and
so
forth.
So
please
do
let
us
know
what
you
think
about
that
and
really
just
look
at
our
website
near
the
time
I'll
put
up
contact
details
at
the
end
of
this
webinar.
A
For
anyone
who
wants
to
know
more,
but
we
will
be
releasing
more
information
about
the
consultation
once
we've
got
through
that
committee
stage
and
we
are
into
the
the
lead
up
to
the
1st
of
november.
We've
got
lots
of
really
great
questions
now,
so
I'm
just
going
to
stop
showing
my
screen
and
start
picking
up
some
questions
and
we
will
hope
to
answer
as
many
as
we
possibly
can.
B
Hi,
yes,
so
I
I
sort
of
explained
that
a
little
bit,
I
think
the
question
might
have
pre
dated
my
my
introduction
to
to
the
site,
but
we
did
look
really
carefully
at
this
site.
It
is
a
site
that
is
of
national
importance,
arguably
even
more
beyond
that
in
terms
of
its
its
biotech
companies
and
and
research,
and
so
on
the
promoters.
B
The
campus
put
forward
very
large
proposals.
They
say
they
need
more
land
as
we
move
forward.
We
we
think
that
there
can
potentially
be
a
case
for
exceptional
circumstances
because
of
that
real
importance
of
that
site,
but
we
didn't
think
the
full
extent
of
the
land
that
they
proposed
was
appropriate.
A
B
A
Question
about
the
figures
for
jobs
and
homes,
suggesting
a
lot
of
single
working
adults
as
the
homes
required
are
nearly
one
dwelling
for
every
one
and
a
half
jobs.
Yet
most
planned
units
look
like
family
homes,
I'm
not
going
to
be
the
whole
question,
because
it's
fairly
lengthy,
I
know
you
can
you
can
see
it
caroline.
But
I
wonder
if
you
could
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
the
figures
from
jobs
and
homes
relate.
B
This
isn't
necessarily
a
direct
one
for
one,
but
what
we've
said
is
that
for
the
the
homes
above
the
homes
to
support
the
additional
jobs
above,
our
standard
method
need
to
be
fully
provided
within
within
greater
cambridge.
So
it's
not
quite
a
one-for-one.
So
there's
a
number
of
different
factors
in
there
and
you'll
see
that
in
our
technical
information.
B
A
Thank
you,
caroline
I'll.
Let
you
go
in
a
minute
carla,
but
I
can
see.
The
next
question
is
also
around
jobs
and
homes,
which
is
obviously
your
special
area.
Given
the
land
already
allocated
and
available
for
economic
development
in
the
current
local
plans,
how
will
the
number
of
new
jobs
be
controlled
to
not
exceed
58
and
a
half
thousand.
B
I
think
that's
a
really
interesting
question:
isn't
it
and
and
actually
planning?
Isn't
you
know
it's
not
an
absolutely
exact
science.
What
we
try
to
do
is
to
plan
to
the
best
of
the
evidence
that
we
have.
We
know
that
this
area
has
held
a
very
high
level
of
employment
land
supply
for
very
many
years,
and
even
when
we've
been
delivering
quite
high
numbers
of
new
jobs,
we've
continued
to
have
that
supply.
So
it's
a
it's
a
bit
like
you
know.
B
These
are
very
big
sites
that
build
out
over
a
long
period
of
time,
so
the
likes
of
grant
park
and
the
genome
campus
and
by
medical
campus
have
been
developing
over
a
long
period
of
time.
So
it's
not
an
exact
science,
but
our
forecasts
say
that
they
think
the
most
likely
level
of
jobs
growth
is
the
is
that
58
and
a
half
thousand
jobs,
and
we
think
that's
the
best
figure
we
have
available
to
you
to
to
use
for
our
plan
making.
A
A
question
around
the
oxford
cambridge
arc,
which
is
a
really
interesting
one,
because
of
course,
the
arc
are
consulting
on
their
spatial
framework
currently
as
well.
What
account
has
been
taken
of
the
proposals
which
include
across
the
ark
area,
up
to
one
million
additional
homes
and
between
half
and
one
and
a
half
million
new
jobs
up
to
20
51.
A
B
Well,
shall
I
start
there
have
been
various
figures
quoted
around
the
obstacle
mark.
I
think
it
is
still
very
early
days,
though,
and
I
think
we
need
to
wait
and
see
what
comes
out
from
from
government
as
it
goes
through
its
process.
It
has
said
that
local
plans
are
still
you
know,
really
important
part
of
the
plan
making
process
or
planning
system
and
they're
encouraging
us
to
continue
to
prepare
our
plans,
which
are
supported
by
very
clear
evidence.
B
A
A
I
think
it's
just
I'll
just
answer
this
one
actually
just
off
myself,
because
it's
a
it
is
difficult
for
everyone
to
understand,
but
anglian
water,
of
course,
are
just
one
like
a
landowner
and
and
site
promoter
as
well
within
the
northeast
cambridge
area
and
we're
not
the
ones
developing
their
carbon
strategy.
So
I
think
it's
really
for
them
to
to
talk
to
their
own
carbon
accounting.
A
Two
further
questions
here
which
are
really
related
about
the
green
belt.
So
how
can
northeast
cambridge
development
comply
with
policies
on
protecting
greenbelt
biodiversity,
landscape
and
so
forth,
when
the
surge
works
will
be
a
huge
industrial
development
on
the
green
belt?
This
is
not
mentioned
in
the
plan
at
all
and
a
similar
question
around
the
green
belt.
Why
is
the
the
use
of
the
green
belt
potential
use
of
the
green
belt
for
the
new
wastewater
treatment
plant,
not
included
in
the
local
plans
discussion
around
the
green
belt?
D
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
I
mean
in
many
respects
it's
a
good
question.
The
challenges
that
we've
faced
in
terms
of
responding
to
the
wide
range
of
consultation
and
feedback,
but
the
the
approach
by
relocating
the
wall,
treatment
works
to
an
alternative
and,
looking
at
the
evident
that
we've
published
it's
clear
that
northeast
cambridge
performs
as
a
brownfield
site
very
strongly
against
those
priority
issues
that
people
have
highlighted,
particularly
in
response
to
climate
change,
also
in
terms
of
accessibility
and
integration
with
existing
localities
and,
of
course,
the
question.
D
A
B
Hannah
yeah,
please
do
yeah
yeah.
I
I
think
it's
also
important
just
to
be
really
clear
here
that
there
are
different
processes
in
in
place
here.
So
the
the
the
council's
local
planning
authority
in
preparing
the
local
plan
we're
not
requiring
the
relocation
of
the
water
treatment
works
that
is
being
dealt
with
as
a
separate
process
proposed
by
england,
water
and
going
through
a
separate
development
control
order
process
is
the
title
of
that
process
that
that
will
go
through.
B
What
we're
saying
is
that
if
that
process
happens
and
the
site
is
the
site,
the
treatment
works
relocates.
Then
the
northeast
cambridge
site
is
a
really
sustainable
location
for
development,
and,
if
that
happens,
that
we
would
say
that
this
is
a
really
important.
You
know
really
good
and
positive
part
of
our
development
strategy,
but
I
think
it
is
important
to
recognize.
There
are
two
separate
processes.
B
A
Thank
you,
caroline.
I'm
just
moving
on
to
another
question
about
a
different
matter
to
do
with
water.
Questioner
says
the
counterbalance
to
water
supply
is
flooding
risk.
How
will
increased
building
impact
on
natural,
soakaway
and
drainage?
Camborne
has
suffered
lots
of
problems
regarding
flooding
and
sewage
management?
A
Can
you
give
an
assurance
that
flooding
has
been
properly
considered
and
there
is
a
sort
of
related
question
around
the
quality
of
new
build
housing
and
infrastructure
and
the
non-delivery
of
committed
green
measures
such
as
water
conservation,
which
is
an
issue
that
the
questioner
says
in
trumpington,
maybe
john,
if
you're
still
there
with
us,
I
know
your
connection
was
a
little
tricky.
Do
you
think
you'd
be
able
to
pick
those
up.
C
C
We
then
want
to
include
very
strong
policies
to
require
sustainable
drainage
systems
and
set
strong
standards
to
ensure
not
only
developments
are
safe
in
themselves,
but
they
don't
impact
on
downstream
communities
as
well.
So
it's
another
really
important
issue
of
the
plan
and
we've
set
out
our
approaches
and
hope
we
get
a
lot
of
feedback
on
on
how
those
policies
will
be
developed.
I
guess
another
will
take
very
seriously.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
john,
and
I'm
just
I
I've
answered
a
couple
of
ones
in
writing,
so
I'm
just
going
to
skip
past
those
there's
a
question
that
says
how
can
circuit
a
thousand
sites
distributed
across
the
plan
area
be
whittled
down
to
19.?
How
can
19
sites
be
considered
to
address?
Not
just
district
housing
need,
but
settlement
housing
need.
Not
everyone
wants
to
live
to
the
north
of
cambridge,
for
example,
and
surely
smaller,
but
still
sustainable
settlements
should
be
considered
in
order
to
provide
a
balanced
approach
to
housing
delivery.
A
How
is
the
strategy
for
placing
all
the
housing
eggs
in
one
basket
here
going
to
be
different
from
the
failed
in
the
case
of
udc
and
the
severely
delayed
braintree
cultures
to
tendering
large
settlement
approaches
taken
by
others?
This
is
a
really
interesting
one
that,
as
a
team,
we
have
had
many
many
debates
about
from
the
sustainability
perspective
and
and
the
social,
environmental
and
economic
balance
of
sustainability.
Caroline,
I
think
maybe
this
is
one
you
could
expand
upon.
B
Yes,
it
is
a
really
interesting
question.
Isn't
it?
I
think
it
is
important
to
recognize
that
our
our
villages,
it
is
difficult
for
them
to
be
providing
really
sustainable
development
on
the
whole
because
of
the
the
level
of
services
and
facilities
and
and
connectivity
to
places
like
cambridge
or
larger
settlements.
B
B
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
our
plans
also
allow
for
what's
called
windfall
development,
which
is
development
that
can
come
forward
consistent
with
our
overall
policies
and
within
the
the
built
sort
of
boundaries
of
of
our
of
our
settlements
and
and
that
does
still
yield
quite
a
significant
number
of
of
homes
and
and
jobs
over.
You
know
each
year,
so
just
because
we
haven't
identified
every
individual
site
that
might
come
forward,
it
doesn't
mean
there
won't
be
any
development
in
in
the
rural
area.
A
A
I've
got
a
question
here:
around
proximity
and
accessibility,
not
being
the
same
thing.
The
questioner
says
northeast
cambridge
has
great
advantages
of
proximity
to
places
of
work,
but
the
reason
it
has
not
been
developed
in
the
past
is
surely
that
it
is
a
site
heavily
constrained
by
access
difficulties.
B
And
and
again
that's
a
really
good
question.
I
think
what
I
would
say
is
that
it,
you
know,
there's
certainly
a
lot
of
congestion
around
around
that
part
of
cambridge,
but
when
you
now
have
the
cambridge
north
station,
you
have
the
scenarios
the
cambridge
bus
way.
You
have
the
proposed
greater
cambridge
partnership,
water
beach
to
camborne,
both
public
transport
scheme
and
greenway
scheme
coming
forwards.
B
B
A
Think
that
reflects
a
really
interesting
change,
doesn't
it
and
how
we
approach
planning
that
is,
is
no
longer
looking
at
purely
the
sort
of
the
road
access
as
being
the
measure
for
which
proximity
is
is
measured
previously,
you
might
not
have
chosen
a
site
because
of
the
road
access,
and
now
it's
a
slightly
different
equation.
A
couple
of
other
questions,
we'll
get
through
sustainability
seems
to
have
disappeared
from
the
list
of
seven
overall
objectives.
Why,
and
do
the
objectives
need
to
reflect
that
sustainability
will
depend
on
the
balance
between
really
interesting
ones?
A
So
I
think
we
would
say
that
sustainability
is
the
sum
total
of
all
of
those
seven
themes
in
the
plan.
That
really
is
the
overarching
principle
behind
planning
in
the
present
day
that
stems
from
the
national
planning
policy
framework,
and
actually,
I
think
we
were
all
really
delighted
to
see
that
the
updates
to
it
recently
to
the
nppf
actually
really
strengthened
the
definition
of
sustainability
within
the
nppf
and
and
put
more
flesh
on
the
bones
for
us
to
work
with
there.
A
A
B
Well,
hannah,
as
you
say,
you
know,
the
councils
are
very
keen
to
see
this
new
proposal
as
being
an
electrified
proposal,
and
it
remains
to
be
seen
whether
whether
that
is
does
come
to
pass.
I
think
you
know
we
do
need
to
recognize
that
train,
almost
even
if
it
were
not
electrified,
still
would
have
the
benefit
of
getting
a
lot
of
people
out
of
their
individual
cars
and
the
emissions
that
that
would
would
cause.
A
B
Yes-
and
I
think
stephen
is
perhaps-
would
like
to
come
in
on
this
one
as
well,
but
I
think
in
the
in
the
outset,
we
we
have
to
look
at
what
we
know
and
we
need
to
look
at
what
you
know
what
the
potential
impacts
could
be,
but
absolutely
we're
open
to
what
new
technologies
might
might
be
into
into
the
future.
But
I
think
we
need
to
understand
almost
as
a
not
quite
worst
case
scenario
but
understand
on
today's
today's
transport
methods.
B
D
But
just
just
build
upon
that.
Obviously,
as
caroline
said,
we
have
to
anchor
because
of
the
tests
of
soundness
are
proposals
in
an
understanding
of
existing
technologies
and
the
process
will
involve
reviews
of
transport
modelling
that's
undertaken,
but
we
would
then
expect
absolutely
through
the
plans
process
and
in
conversations
with
the
combined
authority
of
transport
authority
and
the
county
council
and
great
cambridge
partnership
to
understand
those
opportunities
that
people
have
put
in
the
chat
for
enhanced
technologies
and
in
indeed,
ways
of
improving
behavior
change.
To
take
those
sustainable
choices
going
forwards.
D
A
B
Well,
actually,
it's
a
very
sounds,
a
very
simple
question,
with
probably
quite
a
long
technical
answer,
but
we
we
use
a
transport
model
that
the
county
council
prepares,
which
has
all
sorts
of
clever
assumptions
built
into
it,
including
around
commuting
and
and
so
on,
both
now
and
and
into
the
future.
So
I
think
that's
one
of
those
questions
we're
probably
better
to
take
away
rather
than
to
try
and
answer
here.
A
Maybe
we
should
actually
there's
slightly
different
questions
so
that
one
is
really
about
at
which
point
do
we
challenge
government
and
and
what
do
we
think
the
sort
of
the
grounds
are
for
that?
I
think
our
challenge
to
government
around
the
water
supply
is
not
that
you
know
we're
saying
that
we
think
the
government
is
sort
of
wrong
about
something,
but
it's
really
that
we
need
their
help
to
bring
those
water
supplies
on
more
quickly.
A
D
Yes,
I'm
sorry
about
my
connection
and
dropping
out
of
the
last
the
contribution
before
last
that
there's
a
really
important
conversation
happening
and
someone
else
has
referred
to
it
in
terms
of
the
ox
cam
arc
and
some
of
the
environmental
principles
that
underpin
the
local
councils
are
trying
to
push
into
government
to
underpin
that.
So
there
is
a
challenge
being
mounted
on
some
of
these
assumptions
around
what
is
the
good
growth,
and
some
of
you,
as
I've
highlighted,
might
have
made
comments
in
terms
of
the
ongoing
consultation
around
the
vision.
