  • Key issues for debate at next Parish Council meeting

    A discussion about the value of the Neighbourhood Plan to the community will take place at the next meeting of the Full Parish Council, given that its impact on planning decisions has proved to be limited.

    Councillor Simon Jocelyn will explain that, since May 2022, the Parish Council has made 39 recommendations of refusal for planning permission, but only 8 of these were actually refused by South Cambridgeshire District Council planners.

    Councillors will be asked to vote to suspend additional work on an update to the current Neighbourhood Plan but review this within no more than one year.
