Sutton
Across East Cambridgeshire, the government wants to build 687 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 20,610 homes - +50% on existing stock in East Cambridgeshire.
Spread across the 29 settlements in our East Cambridgeshire list, that is an average of 23.7 homes a year per settlement - about 711 over thirty years.
When homes arrive here, they almost always arrive as a bolt-on: a field at a time, each application too small to trigger the reservoir, the substation, the surgery or the station. That is the pattern we are against — not homes themselves.
