Strategic Housing Market Assessment

The above link will take you to the relevant page of the Cambridgeshire Insight webpage. The latest SHMA is entitled "Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk Housing Needs of Specific Groups  2021". Pages 288-293 of that document provide a summary for East Cambridgeshire. Please also note that some parish councils have commissioned their own parish-based housing needs assessment as part of the Neighbourhood Plan preparation. Please check our Neighbourhood Planning pages to see if the parish you are interested in has a bespoke parish-based housing needs assessment.
