Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire have worked together to draw up aligned Local Plans, through a joint local planning service. These contain 33,500 new homes and 44,000 new jobs by 2031 while ensuring that the Greater Cambridge area remains an attractive place to work, live, study, visit and play.

The majority of the new homes will be located:

Within and on the edge of Cambridge
In Cambourne
In a new village at Bourn Airfield
In the new towns of Northstowe and north of Waterbeach village

The Local Plans are supported by the Transport Strategy for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire (TSCSC), adopted by Cambridgeshire County Council in 2014, following consultation. This was produced in parallel with the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Local Plans.

The TSCSC identifies the transport schemes necessary to support continued economic growth in the Greater Cambridge area, including through improved network connectivity. This document also supports the sustainable development strategy included in the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Local Plans.
