2 x GCP Consultations Launch

The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) has today launched two public consultations on proposals to help people move in and around Cambridge easily and more sustainably.

The Making Connections consultation closes on 20 December and more information can be found at www.greatercambridge.org.uk/making-connections-2021

Greater Cambridge Local Plan – the First Proposals 13th December deadline

Dear resident,

Don’t forget to comment on the first proposals for the Greater Cambridge Local Plan – consultation runs from 1 November to 13 December. This is a really important moment for our area, as the new plan will shape what is built, where and how, across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire over the next 20 years.

The First Proposals set out where new homes, green spaces, business space and other facilities could be located across the area, as well as policies about climate change, biodiversity and much more. The Councils say that their aim is to reduce climate impacts while improving the quality of everyday life, and 19 new sites have been put forward for new housing and business space to meet local needs.

Visit www.greatercambridgeplanning.org/localplan for more details, including an interactive map and questionnaire, from 1 November to 13 December 2021. There will also be online and in-person events during the consultation period where you can find out more and have your questions answered by officers. Full details are on the webpage.

Street Naming at Capstone Fields

Dear resident,

We have some interesting news regarding street names of Capstone Fields – which is the new development of 155 dwellings happening on St Neot’s Road.

Hardwick Parish Council has asked the developers to name the streets in the development in memory of deceased former residents of the village.
The Parish Council has considered residents who have now sadly passed away but who it believes made a significant and special contribution to the village during their lifetime.
This Parish Council proposal has been agreed by the developers and by South Cambridgeshire District Council and the street names will be:

 

Street name In memory of
Howells Way Lynne Howells
Lofty Close Ann Lofty
Turner Close Ken Turner
Bhachu Drive Jagmohan Bhachu and Tejinder Bhachu
Barker Way Ray Barker

Any queries about the above, please contact the clerk
