Have your say on the new Neighbourhood Plan for Pampisford

Members of the public are being invited to comment on a new Neighbourhood Plan for the Pampisford area of South Cambridgeshire to help shape future development and ensure that local amenities, homes, environment and local character is protected and enhanced in years to come.

You can comment on the Submission version of the Pampisford Neighbourhood Plan during a consultation which runs until Monday 30 September 2024.

The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by Pampisford Parish Council and once finalised and adopted, it will be used when making decisions on planning applications. 

The consultation is the last opportunity for the public to comment before the Plan is examined by an Independent Planning Examiner. The Plan will then need to be passed by a referendum before being adopted.

Cllr Dr. Tumi Hawkins, Lead Cabinet Member for Planning at South Cambridgeshire District Council, commented: “Your input is invaluable as we finalise the Neighbourhood Plan for Pampisford. This plan is all about ensuring our community continues to thrive, with well-protected green spaces, quality homes, and excellent local facilities. It's a chance for every resident to have their voice heard and make a meaningful contribution to the future of Pampisford.”

During the consultation, you can view the Neighbourhood Plan and its supporting documents on the South Cambridgeshire District Council website.

Comments can be submitted to South Cambridgeshire District Council between 9am on Monday 5 August and 5pm on Monday 30 September 2024. You are encouraged to comment online via our online consultation system.
