Planning appeals in Greater Cambridge Shared Planning

SiteLens has no Planning Inspectorate appeal attributed to Greater Cambridge Shared Planning for the period the Inspectorate publishes (appeals decided 2016-07 to 2026-06). That can mean it had no appeal decided, or that we cannot match it to the Inspectorate's record for this authority. It is not a claim that no application here was ever refused.

Money behind development in Greater Cambridge Shared Planning

Developer contributions at Greater Cambridge Shared Planning

Developers pay into planning obligations at Greater Cambridge Shared Planning, each sum tied to a purpose written into the agreement. The council's own register records what has been collected, what has been spent and what is left.

£104,714,403
Collected
£17,021,517
Available, per the register

That figure is the register's own Available column, reproduced rather than recalculated. It is money the council has banked against a purpose written into a signed agreement and has not paid out. It is not money the council is free to spend on something else, and it is not a sum any reader can apply for. Councils differ in whether they also deduct money already earmarked to a specific project, so read it against the Spent and Allocated columns on the register itself rather than as a single national measure.

Our collected totals match each register’s own published total exactly. Purposes are grouped from the council's own covenant wording, which differs between authorities. Wording that is specific to this council, such as the name of a local fund, is grouped under other local categories.

About Greater Cambridge Shared Planning

Greater Cambridge Shared Planning is a local planning authority responsible for processing planning applications within its area. Applications are submitted through the council's planning portal and cover a wide range of development types, from householder extensions and change of use to large-scale residential and commercial schemes.

SiteLens tracks the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning planning register daily and enriches every new application automatically. Each is AI-classified by category and trade, given an estimated value band and a plain-English project brief, mapped, and checked against constraint flags like flood zones, conservation areas and green belt. Where an application names an agent, SiteLens shows the firm and matches companies to Companies House. Pro adds the applicant's name, the directors and company health behind each match, and the agent's direct email and phone where the council or firm publishes them, so you know who to speak to about the scheme.

You can also browse the council's own planning register on the official Greater Cambridge Shared Planning planning portal.
