Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan

 

Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire County Council had a statutory duty under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to prepare a Structure Plan for their combined area.

 

Structure Plans set out the strategic planning policies and proposals for the development and use of land within set areas. The latest Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan was adopted in October 2003.

 

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced a new system of development plan making. This new system does not include Structure Plans and their policies will gradually be phased out.

 

Many of the policies in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan 2003 expired on 27, September 2007. However, some were "saved" by the Secretary of State and  continued in force. Saved (non-expired) policies will provide guidance in preparing the Local Development Framework (part of the new system of development plan making).   

  

 

In addition, when the East of England Plan was published by the Secretary of State in May 2008, some of these saved policies were replaced by policies in that Plan.

 

The overall effect of these processes is that, the only Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan policies that now remain in force are:

 

 

 

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan is part of the "old" Statutory Development Plan for Peterborough.
