Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are working together to create the first joint Local Plan for Greater Cambridge.
We are getting in touch to let you know that public consultation on the draft Local Plan is now open. It runs until 5pm on Friday 30 January 2026.
The Local Plan sets out how the area should develop up to 2045 and beyond, including where sites for new homes, jobs and infrastructure will go and what these places should be like. Our Plan has been informed by the thousands of comments we have received through several stages of public consultation so far.
This consultation is your opportunity to help shape the Plan, and we would like to encourage anyone with an interest in the future of the Greater Cambridge area to take part. Feedback from this consultation will help shape the final version of the Plan, which will be consulted on for a final time next year before it is submitted to Government to be examined.
How to get involved:
- Visit our Local Plan webpage to read the proposals and comment online.
- Paper copies are available to view at council offices and main libraries. See our Public Notice for more details.
- Join one of our online or in-person events to ask questions – event details are on the webpage. The first of these is an introductory online webinar on Tuesday (2 December) at 6pm and you can register to attend now.
