Huntingdonshire District Council is planning, through this Local Plan, for the future of the District up to the year 2001. The Plan has been the subject of extensive public consultation and debate and is now published in its adopted form.

The Plan seeks to implement the Cambridgeshire Structure Plan Policies and provide for the continued growth and prosperity of Huntingdonshire, whilst conserving the character and quality of its towns, villages and open countryside.

The District has been the subject of increasing development pressures ever since the Town Expansion era of the 1960’s. This Plan will generally assist the District Council in the difficult decisions which have to be made to guide and control development in the interests of the Huntingdonshire community as a whole. The Plan is intended to give clear guidance to residents, businesses, local groups, developers and investors alike as to how the District will develop through the 1990’s to the new millennium.
