The Local Plan which will manage growth and development in East Cambridgeshire for the next 20 years is set to be approved by the district council next month.

The original version was judged by a planning inspector last year to be deficient, not least because it did not identify enough capacity for new housing to be built in the next five years.  After further work and changes to the plan, the document has now been recommended for adoption by the inspector.

The plan will guide how much development should take place, and where and when it will happen.
