Description

Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service (GCSPS) is a shared service for CCC and SCDC. Over the last few decades, GCSPS has experienced significant growth with the current local plan period. While most of this growth is being delivered on strategic sites, as urban extension and new settlements, there are infill sites and areas within the Cambridge such as some areas within the suburban estates to the north, east and south that are in need of regeneration. There are a number of infill developments coming forward for planning permission within these suburban areas incrementally whose designs are based at a site- specific level, in the absence of a strategic vision for how the area should evolve in the future. As land comes forward for development, within the constraints of the existing local plan these areas could benefit from reimagining their future. They would need to address some of the challenges of meeting zero carbon, making effective and efficient use of land in a sustainable location, whilst being sensitive to its historic and landscape context, improving the quality of homes and places for their communities

GCSPS have been selected to be part of the Design Code Pathfinder programme by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) to test the approach set out in the National Model Design Code (NMDC) and investigate how design coding may apply at an area wide scale.
