§ Lord RookerMy honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
I am today announcing the extension of the London/Stansted/Cambridge growth area to include Peterborough and all of Cambridgeshire.
This takes account of the important role and potential of Peterborough in contributing to growth as part of the London/Stansted/Cambridge growth area, and the work of the Regional Planning Panel for the East of England in preparing new regional planning guidance.
It also reflects the important work under way on sustainable housing growth across Cambridgeshire, and particularly through the Cambridge sub-region infrastructure partnership, which includes Fenland, East Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire.
The complete list of local authorities now included in the London/Stansted/Cambridge growth area is:
- Braintree
- Broxbourne
- Cambridge
- East Cambridgeshire
- East Hertfordshire
- Enfield
- Epping Forest
- Fenland
- Hackney
- Haringey
- Harlow
- Huntingdonshire
- North Hertfordshire
- Peterborough
- Redbridge
