On 31 March 2016, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council submitted proposed modifications to the Inspectors carrying out the examinations of the Local Plans.
The Planning Inspectors had written to the 2 Councils in May 2015 raising some initial queries relating to objectivity in the assessment for need for new housing, the development strategy and conformity with national planning policy.
The Councils carried out additional work to address the issues raised by the Inspectors, and identified a small number of modifications that needed to be made to the Local Plans. The Councils sought views on the proposed modifications through public consultation undertaken between 2 December 2015 and 25 January 2016.
The correspondence between the Councils and the Inspectors, Proposed Modifications Report (including schedules of modifications), and supporting documents are published in our document library.
