We are facing a number of challenges in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough as a result of future housing growth and the impacts of climate change. Such growth needs mineral to be supplied, and waste management facilities to manage waste, for existing and new communities.
The timetable for preparing the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Development Framework is set out in the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme. The Framework consists of a number of different elements, these are summarised below. Please follow the links on the left hand side of the page for further details:
