7.4 Consultation on Plans and Policies

In 05/06 we consulted on proposed plans and policies as follows: -

  • Travellers.  A housing needs survey to identify the needs of the traveller community. The results will be progressed by the identification of sites to meet needs through planning policies.
  • Local Development Framework. We continued to carry out consultation in connection with the key stages of the LDF and run a number of stakeholder workshops to inform the planning of Northstowe and other growth areas.
  • Community Safety – Neighbourhood Panels.  We supported the Police in a project to establish five panels in South Cambridgeshire, the first being at Histon. The aim of the panels is to consult the public for views on priorities.
  • Housing. We carried out extensive consultation with tenants and housing applicants in connection with a review of sheltered housing and on new housing schemes such as Airey house replacement and the redevelopment of the Windmill estate.
