6 TO CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING NOTICES OF MOTION, NOTICE OF WHICH HAS BEEN GIVEN BY:
(a) Councillors
Blencowe and Johnston
In view of the widespread public support for keeping the QD store within the city, the City Council will assist wherever possible within current resources in helping this low-price but highly valuable store to remain in Cambridge.
(b) Councillors
Bagnall and Durrant
This Council
believes that 50% of all housing built on land to be released from the
Cambridge Green Belt should be affordable for people on low or moderate
incomes.
(c) Councillors Durrant, Bagnall and
Bradnack
This Council
instructs the Director of Environment and Planning to undertake the work
required to enable the new Executive Councillor for Environment as their first
and most important task to make recommendations to the Council to allow it to
decide its preference for the location of a new settlement beyond the Cambridge
Green Belt. This should be based on an
assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of alternative locations in
respect of their relationship with Cambridge, placing primary emphasis on the
ability to deliver high quality public transport to, into and through Cambridge
and to minimise the generation of car journeys to Cambridge locations, to
provide for affordable housing within a framework of sustainable development,
and secure the future boundary of the Green Belt in the period after 2016.

correct records, subject to any amendments agreed by members, at this Council
meeting, at which point they will be signed by the Mayor. If any members wish to contest the
accuracy of any of these minutes, it would be very helpful if they would inform
the Committee Section as soon as possible and before the Council meeting.
