Why a Neighbourhood Plan? Legal status – development proposals will be judged against it Village Design Statement – update and extend to Stapleford Longer term vision – pro-active not reacting to development proposals Holistic approach – it all fits together Refresh the Stapleford Parish Plan Focus on land use and development but include other suggestions too

How will a plan benefit these villages? Why a Neighbourhood Plan here in Stapleford and Great Shelford? Managing development not rejecting it Protect the nature of the villages – the Trumpington effect? Keep separation from Cambridge while improving access to the green belt Why both villages together? Classed as a single “rural centre” (pop. 5890) in emerging local plan Many shared issues on future development and Shared village services?

A Vision for Stapleford and Great Shelford A community: where people of all ages and all backgrounds feel welcome to live, work and study where access to the countryside is combined with sustainable village amenities and infrastructure which makes a positive contribution to the economic and cultural development of the local area and the wider region.
