The Greater Cambridge Land Register lists all the brownfield sites considered suitable for housing development. The Government requires local planning authorities to compile a Brownfield Land Register. There are therefore no consequences for how we determine planning applications, resulting from the HDT results published in January 2022 for Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire. The result for South Cambridgeshire is 175%. The latest set of HDT results were published in January 2022. National planning policy and guidance sets out the consequences of different results of the Housing Delivery Test. It was introduced in 2018, and is conducted by the Ministry of Homes, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) using information supplied to them by local authorities. The Housing Delivery Test (HDT) is an annual assessment of actual housing delivery over the previous three years against the housing requirement for the district for that same period.

Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Hou sing Land Supply (1 April 2021) Īs we can demonstrate a five -year housing land supply for Greater Cambridge, the planning policies in the adopted Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Local Plans 2018 will be given full weight in decisions on planning applications, unless there are other material considerations to take into account. This conclusion is based on our five -year housing land supply being calculated jointly, using the Liverpool methodology, and applying a 5 % buffer. The Greater Cambridge housing trajectory (April 202 1 ) concludes that we jointly have 6.1 years of housing land supply for the 2021-2026 five -year period. The housing trajectory is prepared jointly for Greater Cambridge, consistent with the approach set out in the adopted Local Plans 2018. We review the Greater Cambridge housing trajectory and five -year housing land supply calculations annually and it is published in early April. Greater Cambridge Authority Monitoring Report and appendices 2019-2020 Ī housing trajectory is used by Councils to calculate their five -year housing land supply and also to demonstrate that anticipated housing delivery will meet or exceed their housing requirement.
Older reports can be found in our Reports Archive. We have now published the Authority Monitoring Report for 2019-20. The Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service produces a joint report for Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District Councils. The annual publication of an Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) is a statutory requirement for all Local Authorities. The Authority Monitoring Report also assesses the council’s progress in producing its Local Plan and Area Action Plans against the timetable set out in the Local Development Scheme. It contains information about the performance of planning policies set out in the adopted Local Plan and Area Action Plans, and also provides a general portrait of social, economic and environmental conditions in the city. Monitoring is essential to establish what has been happening in Greater Cambridge, what is happening now, what may happen in the future, and what needs to be done to achieve policies and targets.Ĭouncils produce an Authority Monitoring Report every year, which reports on the previous monitoring year from 1 April to 31 March.
