The Council has received a joint application from Stapleford and Great Shelford Parish Council to designate their two parishes as a Neighbourhood Area with a view to developing a Neighbourhood Plan for this area. For more information on this please visit our website.

The Homes & Communities Agency has written to the Council with a revised proposal for the affordable housing planned for Phase 2 of the Northstowe development.

The Northstowe Joint Development Control Committee agreed in principle to 20% affordable housing for Northstowe Phase 2 in July 2015.   Officers agreed in October 2015 with the HCA that this should be at a 60%/40% split of affordable rent and low cost ownership.

Following the receipt of a petition, the Council are consulting on the options to alter the boundary between Willingham and Over parishes.

We are undertaking a consultation on draft guidance designed to help local communities decide whether they want to prepare a neighbourhood plan and if they do how to go about it.  Neighbourhood plans are a community-led initiative giving local communities power to prepare a part of the development plan for their parish or group of parishes. As neighbourhood plans carry substantial weight in planning decision making, there are certain steps that must be followed during their preparation. Draft guidance has been prepared to assist local communities and guide them through each stage.

We are proposing to introduce a licensing policy and conditions that will apply to all Private Hire and Hackney Carriage drivers, vehicle proprietors and operators holding or wishing to obtain a licence.

The new policy proposes to adopt a stringent standard for new and existing license holders.
