Description
South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council are seeking company to review and update previously published employment land, economic development and housing needs evidence to inform future stages of preparing the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, being prepared jointly by the Councils. Preferred Options for the Local Plan (called the First Proposals) were published for public consultation in November 2021 with a supporting evidence base.
The Councils consider that the employment land, economic development and housing needs evidence completed to date (referred to below) is robust. The work now required to support future stages of plan making goes beyond what was envisaged in the original contract, reflecting changing circumstances in both the plan making process, including additional plan making stages, and the context in which the plan is being prepared, including the COVID-19 pandemic. As such this new procurement exercise seeks to incorporate all requirements now anticipated through to adoption of the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, any further support needed to inform the latter stages of North East Cambridge Area Action Plan, and also to incorporate the potential for advice on related topics. The successful company will need to provide advice in a way that updates and builds upon work completed and published to date, as well as responding to consultation representations made at all stages of the plan making process regarding that work.
The project specification includes a number of work strands:
• Work-strand 1: Work to inform Greater Cambridge Local Plan Draft Plan (Regulation 18) consultation:
o Review of Greater Cambridge Employment Land and Economic Development Evidence Study
o Review of Housing & Employment Relationships Report
o Economic development advice on issues relating to strategic allocations proposed in Local Plan
• Work-strand 2: North East Cambridge advice
• Work-strand 3: Work to inform future stages of plan-making
• Work-strand 4: Provision of Expert advice to Development Plan Examinations
