SUTTON-IN-THE-ISLE PARISH PLAN

Cambridge Minerals & Waste Plan


The Parish Council planning committee meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings.

The role of the planning committee is to respond to planning applications sent to us by the Local Planning Authorities, East Cambridgeshire District Council or Cambridgeshire County Council.

The Parish Council does not have a power to determine planning applications, their role is to make recommendations to the planning authorities based on material planning considerations.


Local Development Framework
The District Council has produced 'Local Development Framework' (LDF) for East Cambs. The LDF will set out a strategy for future growth in housing, employment and other issues up to 2024.  On Government advice they need to plan for growth of over 6000 houses over the next 18 years.

Sutton is included in the LDF plan.  

The consultation on proposed housing sites in East Cambs is now available. Sutton has three principal sites earmarked for development. Please see the link below for further information.

If you would like to view plans that are submitted to the Parish Council, please contact the Parish Clerk in order to make arrangements. If you are unable to visit the office during the day, arrangements can be made to lend the plans over night.

All responses to applications should be addressed to the Local Planning Authority, however it is useful if a copy could be sent to the parish council, in order that the committee can consider your points whilst considering their recommendation.

NORTHSTOWE

You will probably be aware of the planning application to build a new town to be called Northstowe in the area of Longstanton/Oakington.  This proposed development could have a tremendous impact on the amount of heavy goods vehicles using the roads in this area during the prolonged construction period.  Sutton Parish Council have discussed the issues with other local parishes and have sent a letter to South Cambs District Council in whose area the new development lies, giving details of their concerns. Please follow the link below to read the letter in full.
