Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council jointly adopted the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan 2003 on 22nd October 2003.

With the approval of the East of England Plan under the 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, all but 13 of the policies in the Plan have been superceded. Details are available in the publication on the right.

The Plan gave strategic guidance on the broad location of housing provision, employment, the countryside and other land uses for the period 2001-2016.

The Structure Plan also provided the framework for the district councils’ preparation of detailed Local Development Frameworks or Local Plans.

Paper copies of the Plan can still be purchased, at a cost of £20.00 + £3.00 p&p. A cheque can be made payable to Cambridgeshire County Council, or by calling at Castle Court Reception at Shire Hall Cambridge.

The contents of plan, with links to each of the chapters and diagrams (in pdf format) is available on the right. Alternatively, general inquiries about the plan can be answered by email.
