Proposed development of approximately 30 dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping, and improvements to the site access. The proposed development could include for self-build/custom-build housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Fowlmere. South Cambridgeshire is a vanguard authority for self/custom-build housing. There are a significant number of people seeking self build plots, and that demand is not currently being met. There are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits.
The site could accommodate 30 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement location and character of village and surrounding area.

There is an existing vehicular access to the site from Rectory Lane. The current access will need to be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
The sites eastern boundary falls within flood zones 2 and 3 although the majority of the site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. Proposals for the site could be developed to ensure that no development falls within the areas which are identified as being at risk from flooding. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. The site falls within Fowlmere Conservation Area. A heritage assessment would be required to assess the impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding area but it is considered that a scheme for the site can be developed that would not result in any harm to heritage assets. Overall, there are no constraints to development at the site.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Fowlmere and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. In addition, there is a limited supply of development sites in Fowlmere, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

The land owned by EDBF at the site comprises a total of 76.84 Ha. The site promoted for development is the eastern field located immediately adjacent to Fulbourn, which is 18 Ha in size. The proposed development is for approximately 540 dwellings including affordable dwellings, plots for self-build/custom-build housing and associated infrastructure. The proposed development would include a primary school, local centre, community facilities, open space and other green infrastructure, and a new vehicular access.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Fulbourn. Fulbourn is surrounded by the Green Belt, and there are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing has been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Fulbourn including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The land owned by EDBF at the site comprises a total of 76.84 Ha. The site promoted for development is the eastern field located immediately adjacent to Fulbourn, which is 18 Ha in size. The site could accommodate approximately 540 dwellings. The site is likely to accommodate a significant amount of new green infrastructure and strategic landscaping, and as such only part of the site would accommodate built development. The quantum of development reflects the character of the site and surroundings and its current location in the Green Belt. Further design work will be required to confirm the quantum of development at the site.

A vehicular access to the site will be required for the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
There are changes in the topography at the site, which will influence the design and layout of the proposed development and the areas for green infrastructure and strategic landscaping.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. A landscape assessment will need to be undertaken for the site in order to inform the design and layout of the proposed development and the areas for strategic landscaping. The Windmill located within the site is a Grade II Listed Building. An assessment of the impact of development on this heritage asset will need to be undertaken. The assessments of landscape and heritage impacts could reduce the quantum and location of development at the site. It is requested that the opportunity to restrict development to the land immediately adjacent to Fulbourn should also be assessed.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development. The site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process, which has informed the assessment of when the site would actually be available for development.

Residential development for approximately 18 dwellings, with open space and green infrastructure, and vehicular access. The site could also include plots for self/custom-building housing. It is proposed that the proposed dwellings would be located on the site of the current allotments, with the remainder of the site retained for open space and green infrastructure.

The Allotments (Site B) is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The Paddocks fall within Flood Zones 2 and 3. It is proposed that the Paddocks would be used for open space and green infrastructure, and no built development is proposed in areas at high risk of flooding. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the sites will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed developments will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment will need to be undertaken of the trees and hedgerows at the sites. There are two listed buildings located directly opposite the frontage off Frog Lane; Rookery Farmhouse (Grade II) and Barn at Rookery Farmhouse (Grade II).

There is an existing vehicular access to the site from Fishers Lane. The current access will need to be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. The site is not affected by any heritage assets. Overall, there are no constraints to development at the site.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Orwell and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. In addition, there is a limited supply of development sites in Orwell, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

A small development of 12 houses with a mix of tenure, to provide housing for young and old in the village of Bartlow, some of which may be employees.
Bartlow desperately needs housing for young, and older people who wish to downsize. An HNS demonstrates need for four units. The village of Bartlow is a small hamlet of 45 households with an excellent community spirit, a local pub and a lovingly cared for church, But the village has become simply unaffordable for young to stay in the community (5 sales in 3 years between £300k and £1m), and for the older generation to downsize and stay in their location of choice. A recent Housing Needs Survey undertaken by Cambridge Acre demonstrated an 81% acceptance of the need for further development, and the need already for 4 affordable properties (2 x 1 bed, 1 x 2 bed, 1 x 3 bed) and 7 households said their housing was not adequate. Discussions have taken place with some providers. The Estate is keen to develop a well designed and sympathetically located development of mixed tenure housing which could include open market, shared equity, and affordable to rent housing. This is viewed by the village as desirable by the vast majority, as evidenced by the HNS, and the minutes of a previous Parish Council Meeting 15/09/2016. As a result of the HNS carried out in the spring/summer of 2018, a further meeting was held to discuss the results of the survey in June 2018, and only 3 households were not wholly supportive of the project.

Residential development for up 44-60 dwellings (dependant on density), open space and associated infrastructure.
The site could provide up to 60 dwellings and significant on-site open space. A development of this scale would also provide a provision of affordable housing and play space. Subject to compliance with Regulation 122 and 123 of the Community Infrastructure Levy regulations any development may be required to provide planning obligations towards mitigating the impact of a development on local infrastructure. In progressing the outline planning scheme for 49 dwellings, my client is aware of a previous shortfall in recreation/sports open space in the village and the potential need for developments to provide contributions towards sport and recreation provision (as per the SCDC Open Space in new Developments SPD). My client is also aware of ambitions within the local community to increase/improve sports provision in the village beyond the improvements already secured via the approved scheme for 49 dwellings. In bringing forward any proposals for major development my client is keen to understand the ambitions of the local community and any existing pressures on local infrastructure. Accordingly, my client is open to meeting local stakeholders to help shape and guide any future development proposals at the site.
The dwelling estimate is informed by a desk based review of constraints and the submitted Development Framework Plan.

It is envisaged that any scheme would be served by the full range of utilities required to serve a residential development of this scale. The availability of infrastructure connections was confirmed by the planning process for the adjacent 49 dwelling scheme. At the planning application stage, technical work would confirm the capacity of local infrastructure and the applicant would work with providers to establish a robust solution to serve the scheme without having a detrimental impact on the existing community.

The intention would be to have a garden village well serviced by the future A1307 upgrade, to provide well designed quality houses of mixed tenure, in an attractive area for people to live, without impinging on the livelihoods of existing settlements. The development will include employment use, services and facilities appropriate to a self sustaining settlement.
The proposed settlement will provide a mix of tenure, allowing young and old affordable options, and the building of cohesive community spirit, supported by the appropriate employment use and associated services and facilities.
Assuming 55% of the total area can be developed at a density of 30 houses per hectare - 3,432 houses
No uploaded files for public display
Proposed access would be from the A1307 upgrade which may run through the site if the southern route is chosen. The settlement would rely on a significant A1307 upgrade, thought likely over the coming 10 years.
There are trees within the site, which will assist the proposed development by helping to assimilate this development proposal into the existing landscape. Parts of the site along Dean Road and alongside the River Granta are within Flood Zones 2 and 3. This land will be used as public open space within the proposed development.
There are nearby facilities including a water main along Camps Road (Cambridge Water), an electricity line along Camps Road (Bury Grid) and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) to Bartlow. There is no sewerage or gas - these services will need to be provided to facilitate the development. Key utilities may need to be upgraded to facilitate the development.

Two points of access are proposed off Wilberforce Road.
Considering the site's extant use as a playing field, it is unlikely that the land is unstable.
The site is located in Flood Zone 1 and thus is at a low risk of flooding. Although the southern portion of the site has a slight risk of surface water flooding, any proposed development would ensure that the existing drainage system would be upgraded, therefore reducing the overall surface water flood risk on-site. Given the site's historical use as a playing field, it is unlikely that the land is contaminated. Nevertheless, any future planning application would be accompanied by a Phase 1 Contamination Assessment, which would assess the likelihood of contamination and recommend mitigation measures (if necessary). It is unknown as to whether protected species are present on-site, although given the site's historic use as a playing field it is considered unlikely. Any future planning application, however, would be accompanied by a Phase 1 Ecology Assessment, which would assess the likelihood of protected species being present on-site. Should there be a likelihood of protected species on-site, then further surveys would be undertaken and mitigation measures would be proposed e.g. the provision of bat/bird boxes. Nine trees on the site's western and northern borders are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. Any proposed development of the site would seek to retain these trees and situate new development a suitable distance away, in order to ensure that no harm comes to them. A Grade II listed building is located in the southeast corner of the site (Emmanuel College Sports Pavilion, including Groundsman's House and Stable). Any proposed development of the site would seek to secure the long-term future of these heritage assets through proposing a residential and/or community facility use. It should also be noted that a further Grade II listed building (9 Wilberforce Road) bounds the site to the east. The proposed development could respect the character and significance of this heritage asset through delivering a landscape buffer along the site's eastern boundary and setting back the built environment away from it.
The site does not currently have access to key utilities, other than the existing drainage network (although it is anticipated that this will need to be upgraded in order to facilitate the development).
The landowner is keen to the develop the site as soon as possible and is now taking an active role following the receipt of enquiries made.
Proximity to Cambridge City Centre; available in the short term; and all constraints are considered to be minor and/or easily overcome.

Residential development for up 11 dwellings (dependant on density), open space and associated infrastructure.
The site could provide up to 11 dwellings.
The dwelling estimate is informed by a desk based review of constraints and the submitted Development Framework Plan.
Access would be via the approved residential scheme for 49 dwellings (directly to the south). An access along the northern boundary of the approved scheme has been retained by the land owner. See Framework Plan
An area of land adjacent to the stream along the eastern boundary is within Flood Zone 3. Development is not proposed in this area. Flood Zone indicated on the Framework Plan.
It is envisaged that any scheme would be served by the full range of utilities required to serve a residential development of this scale. The availability of infrastructure connections was confirmed by the planning process for the adjacent 49 dwelling scheme. At the planning application stage, technical work would confirm the capacity of local infrastructure and the applicant would work with providers to establish a robust solution to serve the scheme without having a detrimental impact on the existing community.
The site is available for development now and could be delivered following the build out of the 49 dwelling scheme, to the south, which would provide the site access.
Davidsons Development Ltd are a housebuilder and are promoting the land, as such, the market attractiveness of the site has been demonstrated.
