Consultation on new housing policies relating to Build to Rent, Clustering and Distribution of Affordable Housing and Affordable Rent Setting.

One of the aims of our Greater Cambridge Housing Strategy is to demonstrate what we expect new housing developments across Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire to look like.

To build on this further the two councils are consulting jointly on more detailed policies around:

• Build to Rent: [PDF, 0.2MB] Purpose built housing schemes providing homes entirely for rent (as opposed to those brought forward by councils and housing associations as social or affordable rent homes);
• Clustering and Distribution of Affordable Housing: [PDF, 0.1MB]How affordable housing should be grouped (clustered) and spread out on new developments.
• Affordable Rent Setting: [PDF, 0.1MB]How affordable rent levels for council and housing association homes should be set to ensure that they are as affordable as possible to those who need them

We are seeking the views of: 

• Housing developers, investors, and registered providers with an interest in these issues locally
• Council tenants, leaseholders and housing register applicants
• Other people living or working in Greater Cambridge
• Local employers
• Public sector organisations operating in the area
• Landlords
• Parish Councils
• Residents’/Tenants Associations
• Voluntary sector organisations
• Other partners who work with, or have an interest in working with the two councils.

   

Paper copies of the survey are available upon request.
