The policy framework that the applications will be assessed against is contained within the Northstowe Area Action Plan adopted in July 2007, Development Control Policies adopted July 2007 and the Core Strategy adopted January 2007. The Northstowe planning applications will be assessed against these policies and other Government circulars and guidance.

The applications are available online (This link will open in a new window). The public consultation period took place for a period of 12 weeks concluding on the 31st March 08. However, due to technical problems the consultation period was extended for a further week and therefore concluded at 23.59 on 7 April 2008.
