1. Histon& Impington Neighbourhood Plan
Why are we doing it?
Because if we have a
Neighbourhood Plan (NP):
• We can influence the
way our community
develops;
• We can plan what capital
the Parish Council needs
to spend; and
• We get more money!

2. We want to be sure that H&I will
continue to be a great place to live

3. It’s policies which help us to do that. They
protect and they enable. For example …
We have policies to protect jobs, retail
outlets, green space and the Windmill
We have policies to enable community,
social and affordable housing development

4. We’ve got a head of steam but there’s
still time to engage … www.hiplan.net
• Version 1.0 of the Neighbourhood Plan has now been published and
is with South Cambs for review
• After that we’ll get a 3rd party inspector to check it over
• With that input we’ll update the plan and publish a new version
• Then we’re into ‘statutory consultation’ (Apr 18 onwards)
• After which we’ll update it again and publish another version
• Finally it’s the really formal stuff (Jul 18 onwards)
• South Cambs to do (another) consultation followed by a review by ‘the
inspector’
• And a final update leading to a referendum (before year end?)
