Planning Advisory Service Conference in Cambridge

Friday 22nd March, 2013

On 21 March 2013 Nicholas Falk spoke at a conference on the National Planning Policy Framework for local authority councillors and officers where he explored the links between infrastructure and development.  Cambridgeshire has been leading the way in the UK in putting its spatial plan into effect.  Permission has been granted for the first phases of the new town of Northstow, on route of the Guided Bus, which already runs past the new settlement of Orchard Park.  Even more exciting developments are taking place in the Southern Fringe, and around Addenbrookes Hospital.  Exciting new housing schemes show the influence of the Cambridgeshire Quality Charter for Growth, and the study tours URBED has led to new Dutch communities and in Freiburg, Southern Germany. Indeed, there is even a co-housing scheme going ahead at Orchard Park, while all around the station are high density schemes. 

Nicholas Falk's presentation on Valuing and Funding Housing Infastructure stressed three main points:

  • Growth in the right places
  • Sustainable Infrastructure
  • Balanced Communities
