Greater Cambridge Local Plan Issues and Options – Upcoming Consultation in January 2020

We have received the following consultation details from Greater Cambridge Shared Planning:

It is a very exciting time for Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, with work underway on a new joint Local Plan that will affect the future of Greater Cambridge over the next 20 years.

The Councils are preparing to carry out a public consultation called: Greater Cambridge Local Plan – The First Conversation.  The consultation will start the conversation about the kind of place we want Greater Cambridge to be in the future. It will explore the ‘big themes’ –climate change, biodiversity, social inclusion and great places – that will influence how homes, jobs and infrastructure are planned, and where growth might go.

Our consultation will run between 9am Monday 13 January and 5pm Monday 24 February 2020. 

We want to hear as many views as possible about what the Councils should include in the next Local Plan.

During the consultation we will be taking a pop-up ‘roadshow’ to places around the area including shopping centres, schools, community centres and other places where we can reach out to as many people as possible, making it easy for you to spend a few minutes finding out more and sharing your views. Our current list of events is attached here, you will also be able to find out more when we launch our dedicated Local Plan website in the New Year.

We will also be holding a ‘Big Debate’ on the evening of 18 February, where we are inviting local groups to share their ideas about what should be in the Local Plan, in a fun, provocative and lively public event. If you are interested in being one of the groups to present, please contact Hana Loftus at localplan@greatercambridgeplanning.org. Also look out for details about how to book your seat in the audience on the night, when we open the consultation in January.

The consultation will go live on 13 January – you will be able to explore all the material, and share your views, on www.greatercambridgeplanning.org 

If you would like further information or have any questions please contact us by emailing localplan@greatercambridgeplanning.org  or calling 01954 713183.

Seasonal Events at The Holiday Inn

We have received the following information from the Great Event Company regarding the Holiday Inn, Impington:

Please note that we will be holding events for Cambridge based organisations with licensable activities on the following three dates in December 2019:

Saturday 7th December

Thursday 12th December

Saturday 14th December

We recognise the disturbance that these events may cause to local residents and to reduce this as much as possible we have agreed to cease all live and recorded music at 12.30am, as well as to put sound reduction barriers and measures in place and to operate the events in accordance with an agreed Nosie Management Plan drawn up by a qualified Noise Consultant, who will be in attendance at each event to ensure compliance.

During the events our Event Site HQ (just inside the field entrance) will be manned at all times and will have a hotline telephone number ( 07942 206951) on the day and for the duration of each event  for residents to call in case of need. If the issue is about noise then our on site Noise Consultant will investigate the specific issue by taking decibal readings wherever required and take appropriate controlling action.

As guests at two of the events (7th and 12th December) will arrive by private cars and taxis we will have a member of staff at the junction of Bridge Road and Cambridge Road between 7pm and 9pm directing arriving cars away from the residential areas to the designated drop off and parking at The Holiday Inn and lakeview Field.

Items of note:

Presentation by HIYEC: A presentation was made to the Councillors by members of “Histon & Impington Youth Eco Council“ (HIYEC) who outlined their ambitions and concerns if no action was taken to address climate change. Some of the topics they covered included:

  • Wildfires and flooding
  • Changes in weather patterns such as heatwaves and flooding
  • Loss of habitat
  • Local awareness
  • Reduce litter and encourage recycling in schools/shop – crisp packet collection points
  • Meetings and participation with HI Action for Tress, Uniformed groups; South Cambridgeshire District Council
  • ‘Be brave, make good decisions for the future’
  • Carbon zero aspirations
  • Creating a safer, clean environment by reducing Carbon Dioxide
  • Planting more trees, bringing back habitat
  • Stamp out climate change for good!

The members of the Council thanked the young people for attending and helping to raise awareness.

New Parish Councillor:  there was a vacancy on the Council and we were able to fill this with the co-option onto the council of Ros Hathorn. Ros provided everyone with a brief bio and introduced herself to the members, and was duly accepted onto the Council.
