The Local Plan is a set of policies and land allocations that will guide the future of our district up to 2031. It is the master guide to which all other planning in the area must conform.

The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan was adopted in September 2018. All planning applications are now assessed against the policies in the Local Plan.

The preparation of the next Local Plan is underway. You can find the latest information on its on our Greater Cambridge Local Plan website.
