The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan allocates land to the north of the existing village over the period to 2031 and beyond for the development of a new town of approximately 8,000-9,000 homes. The new town will provide a long-term supply of new market and affordable homes helping to meet local housing needs and by doing so enable our rapidly growing economy to continue to prosper. We want the new town to be a place whose residents are proud of and which is a good neighbour to the existing village and Denny Abbey. The SPD provides further detail on how the new town will be delivered in accordance with the policies set out in the Local Plan. You can read what the Local Plan policy for the new town says in Appendix 3 of the SPD. What does the SPD have to say? The SPD establishes a vision for the new settlement, and strategic objectives for the new development. It includes strategic principles for development and place-making that set the quality expectations for the new settlement, to guide master planning of the site.

Editorial board The project is implemented by Dr Helen Haugh Centre for Social Innovation at Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation Cambridge Judge Business School Cambridge Judge Business School and the Diocese of Ely Geoffrey Hunter with the generous support of Allchurches Trust Diocese of Ely and Historic England www.reachely.org The challenges facing church communities and their buildings have been extensively studied in the light of declining church attendance in the United Kingdom over several decades. REACH Ely aims to address the less-well-understood opportunities for churches to engage and reconnect with the 97.7 per cent of the local communities in the Diocese of Ely who do not attend their parish churches. With the absence of universal determinants of success and failure of churches in the community engagement context, the REACH Ely project will provide an understanding of the relationship between communities and wider use of church buildings as well as the contribution that churches make to the common good. The project will determine community values, needs and opportunities that can be used in the most effective way to ensure a win-win outcome for communities and sustainable future of church buildings.

South Cambridgeshire District is bordered to the northeast by East Cambridgeshire District, to the southeast by St Edmundsbury District, to the south by Uttlesford District, to the southwest by North Hertfordshire District, to the west by Central Bedfordshire and to the northwest by Huntingdonshire District.
