It is considered that the site could accommodate a landscape design-led residential development of up to 25 residential units. This would include 40% affordable housing, landscaping, vehicular and pedestrian access, formal and informal open space and the opportunity to deliver formal children's play space.
-The opportunity to deliver a substantial amount of affordable housing to help meet the needs of Shudy Camps and the wider District; - Enhancing biodiversity levels across the site. The site is currently agricultural land and can be considered to be of low ecological value. - The opportunity to deliver formal children's play space which would be accessible to new and existing residents of the village. There are currently no facilities of this nature available within the village or within walking distance; - In accordance with paragraph 68 of the NPPF, an opportunity to contribute to the Councils' requirement to accommodate at least 10% of their housing requirement on sites no larger than 1 hectare. - The site is located approximately 100m from bus stops, providing services to Haverhill and Audley End, encouraging new residents to use sustainable modes of transport to access services, facilities and existing transport infrastructure.
Up to 25 residential units. This is based on applying an average density of 30 dwellings per hectare which would be appropriate to the site's location and would allow for landscaping, necessary open space and the potential to deliver formal children's play space.

The site does not have an existing vehicular access, however it is considered that an access could be provided off Main Street. A public right of way is located within the western corner of the site, running in a north easterly direction, and would be retained as part of any proposals.
The site slopes upwards towards the north, however it is considered that this would not be a significant constraint on development.
Existing infrastructure connections that currently serve the village can be readily extended.
The site is within single ownership and is being promoted by the landowner who has indicated that the site is available.
The landowner is also supported by residential agency, as part of their professional team, who are well embedded in the local market and have indicated that the site is attractive.

The development would provide economic benefits through the construction jobs created and from owner/occupiers using the services and facilities within the new extension, within Cambourne and the wider area. There would be social benefits through the provision of market, self build and affordable housing providing a mix of housing as well a services and facilities such as employment and education provision. There will be environmental benefits through strategic landscaping, biodiversity enhancement through the provision of trees and hedgerow along with public open space and enabling connectivity to the footpaths in the adjacent nature reserve linking through to Cambourne.
1500 houses on 50 hectares of the site which would equate to 30 dwellings per hectare commeasure with Cambourne.

A well related site adjoining the village edge on two sides and its development will provide a 'rounding off' of the village built area on the north side. The site has good access links to the village centre and facilities, and good connections to the wider village path network. The site can deliver a range of housing types and tenures to meet the housing need. At present the existing housing on the north side of the village is exposed with minimal boundary hedgerows (see landscape views). Landscaping in conjunction with new development would enable a soft green edge to the village which could be extended along the north boundary of the existing development off Murfitt Way to improve views when entering the village from the north. This also provides the opportunity to enhance biodiversity. The development provides the opportunity for footpath improvements linking the village to Gamlingay wood and through to Grays Road along with the provision of gateway parks forming public open space.

As part of the development, a new vehicular access point to the site via a junction with Fowlmere Road on the eastern side of the site would be provided. A secondary cycle and pedestrian access on the western side would be provided to link the site to the existing footpath on Cambridge Road. As part of the previous planning application at the site, a transport assessment was prepared. An addendum to this will be prepared as part of any subsequent planning application at the site.
There are no slopes or significant changes in ground levels.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 and is therefore at a low risk of flooding.

The proposed development could comprise circa 40 dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping. The proposed development could include plots for self-build/custom-build housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Eltisley. Eltisley is a settlement which comprises designated heritage assets including listed buildings and a conservation area. Large parts of the village are indeed included within the designated conservation area. Scheduled Ancient Monuments are located to the east and south east. The village is also centred on a large central green which is protected by virtue of being designated as "Local Green Space". There are as a result 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 also provide support to the existing services in the village including the Public House, school, nursery and bus service.
The site is predicted to be capable of delivering circa 40 dwellings. This is based on the assumption that development could be provided at a density of circa 25-30 dwellings per hectare (given the edge of settlement location).

The site is currently accessed through the existing access that serves the adjacent dwellings. While this access may be able to be utilised to serve a quantum of new development, a new access may need to be created into the site to the west of the existing dwellings and beyond the important countryside frontage. Sufficient land is available to enable a new access to be provided if needed. Appropriate highway analysis will need to be undertaken to inform the access design and layout.

Subject to application reference number: S/0556/12/FL This application was made by a previous land owner and was refused based on the site's location outside the settlement boundary, impact on character, the lack of ecological assessment and access issues. These issues are addressed in this form, covering letter and the accompanying reports/plans.
Greenfield
It is proposed that the site be developed for a sensitive residential development, as shown on the accompanying indicative masterplan. The proposed development would address the access concerns with the previously refused application with one point of access off Heath Road. The development would respect the need for a buffer to the existing development to the west. The eastern part of the site would remain open to provide an area of informal open space in which ecological enhancements (and mitigation as required) could be accommodated as well as maintaining an area of separation to Dennis Green. The design and layout of the development would respect the surrounding character of the area with regards to scale and appearance. The size of the developable area would be under 1 hectare meaning if the site were not required for market housing, it could come forward as an entry level exception site in the future.
The development of the site, which benefits from an existing footpath connection to the village, would provide much needed housing on a well located, vacant site on the edge of a sustainable settlement. The development would provide a positive frontage to Heath Road, enhancing the visual appearance of the village on the approach from the west. Whilst it is recognised that there is some local feeling that the site is of ecological value, the accompanying Preliminary Ecological Appraisal has assessed that the site is of limited ecological value. The development, with the provision of informal open space and landscaping, including native species, therefore provides an opportunity to enhance the ecological value of the site.
Approximately 28 dwellings

The site is currently accessed off Heath Road in the south west corner, immediately adjacent to a neighbouring property. It is proposed that this access point would be closed and a new single point of access created further to the north. The final location of any access would have regard to visibility requirements, which can be adequately met along the site frontage. There is scope for an additional footpath access to be created onto Green Acres to maximise connectivity. As noted earlier, any proposal would avoid more than one new access on to Heath Road, which formed part of a reason for refusal on a previous application.
The site is flat with no significant level changes to inhibit development.
As noted earlier, it has been suggested locally that the site is of ecological value. Therefore, to inform the site promotion, the owner has commissioned a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (enclosed). This concludes that the development of the site would not affect any designated sites and that any ecological harm can be mitigated. There is a small drainage ditch which follows the boundary with Green Acres. The Environment Agency Flood Map shows that this area has no associated flood risk. The site does not form part of a Conservation Area and is not subject to any heritage designations. The nearest heritage asset is a listed building south of Heath Road, which lies beyond the residential dwellings which sit in the south west corner of the promoted site. Given the lack of inter-visibility and relationship between the site and the listing building, the development proposal set out on the accompanying concept plan would not cause any harm to the character or setting of the listed building. There are no known contamination constraints associated with the site, although contamination is unlikely given that there has been no previous use of the site. See Phase 1 Ecological Assessment.
The site is adjacent to a residential area which is served by a a full range of utilities into which the development can be connected. There are no known pipelines or pylons that affect the site.
The site is vacant and under control of a site promoter who is making the site available for development.
The site is in a very marketable location. The site provides an opportunity for a mix of dwelling types and sizes to meet the needs of South Cambridgeshire.
No. The site is owned by a single company who are promoting the site for development.

Proposed development of up to 50 dwellings, including affordable dwellings, and a community park to provide recreation and leisure facilities.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Histon and Impington. Histon and Impington 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 will have been provided in the villages in recent years. The proposed development would include a significant community park to address an existing deficit that there is in open space within the villages. Landscaping would be provided as part of the proposals, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Histon and Impington including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate up to 50 dwellings which reflects its edge of settlement location and the density of existing residential development to the south. This also allows for the provision of a significant community park.

There is an existing agricultural access to the site off Milton Road. As part of the development proposals for the site the creation of two new accesses off Milton Road are proposed, one to serve the proposed residential development and one to serve the proposed community park. The location and design of these accesses have been worked up in detail by a highways consultant who have confirmed that safe and suitable access to the site is achievable. The proposals would also include for offsite highway works to improve pedestrian and cyclist accessibility to the site.
The site is located in 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 and foul water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site has been undertaken and the southern and eastern site boundaries were confirmed to be of some value as foraging and commuting habitat for bats. Accordingly, these features will be retained as part of the proposals for the site. A number of ecological enhancement measures will also be incorporated into the proposals. The site is not affected by any heritage assets. Overall there are no constraints to development.
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 developer who has prepared a planning application for the proposed development that will be submitted to the Council imminently.
The site is being promoted by a developer. It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Histon and Impington 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 Histon and Impington, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

Residential development of 0.34 hectares of land to form up to eight dwellings with access, turning, parking and other associated works.
Additional homes conveniently located within walking distance to Meldreth train station and the amenities of Melbourn. We believe this section of Meldreth should be included in the development framework for either Meldreth or Melbourn when revised (if still applicable).

Station Road is adopted highway. Access indicated on the site plan attached to this representation. Turning areas and section of road shown to adoptable standards, where required.
Proximity of the site to the A10 may be considered to be a constraint to the development but the landowner is happy to provide evidence that any constraint can be over come as part of a more detailed submission at a later stage.
Site is thought to have adequate access to key utilities which serve adjacent properties. Sewerage connection available on Station Road as confirmed by Anglian Water.
Site is vacant and available for development
The site is situated in a prime sustainable location near to Meldreth Railway Station. The demand for additional dwellings in this location is unquestioned. Areas around existing sustainable transport nodes should be expanded and this is a prime site to help deliver much needed homes.

Residential development of up to a gross quantum of 200 dwellings (not taking into account environmental constraints) As part of the updated Call for Sites information that has been submitted, two plans have been provided. The first is an amended red line site boundary to illustrate the site’s removal from the flood plain and the second shows the extent of Green Infrastructure to the east of the site that is substantial in nature. The Promotional Document that has previously been submitted in respect of the site, illustrates how the substantial area of Green Infrastructure will seek to strengthen the contributions that this part of the site will have to the area of landscape character in which it is set.
Delivery of housing within an area of significant demand, therefore contributing valuable numbers towards the identified need within South Cambridgeshire, but also to local needs within Waterbeach. Residential development of the site would be able to take positive advantage of the sustainable location of the village in terms of access via rail links to Cambridge and the principal of development at Waterbeach generally through the identification of the strategic allocation - Waterbeach New Settlement
Residential development of up to a gross quantum of 200 dwellings. The capacity that is identified within the Promotional Document is for in the region of 200 dwellings rather than 330 identified by the LPA. This takes into consideration the extent of the developable area on the western portion of the site provided as a logical extension to the exiting built up area of Waterbeach and the Green Infrastructure to the eastern part of the site. Development on the site is capable of commencing within the first five years of the plan period the estimated start date in the table above should be altered accordingly.

Provision of new highway access will need to be provided to the site to ensure adequate vehicular flows into and out of the site following subsequent development of the site for residential purposes
Flood Zone 3 (with benefits from flood defences) cover a substantial area of the appraisal site to the east, with partial Flood Zone 2 and 1 towards the west. Whilst the Flood Zone 3 areas are protected by defences, these would need to be assessed robustly through a FRA, but also through the implementation of any development through the provision of set-aside open space and landscaping buffers.
It is not known if there is direct connection to mains utilities, but site is settlement edge and therefore provision of a new mains connection is possible.
Southern and Regional are in a position to bring the site forward through an Option agreement with the landowners subject to outline planning approval being issued.
Waterbeach is a large, popular village within commuting distance from Cambridge via mainline railway, which is one of the fastest economically developing cities in the UK and therefore there is continuing demand for housing within Greater Cambridge to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding economy.

The site comprises a Broad Location that might accommodate residential development as growth of Papworth Everard and / or Elsworth. Land north-east of the A1198/A428 junction provides an opportunity for development at a key node in the A428 corridor which might accommodate employment provision (B1/B2/B8), e.g. strategic scale warehousing & logistics, enhanced motorists roadside provision (including hotel accommodation).
The site is promoted as an opportunity for development at a key node in the A428 corridor which might accommodate employment provision B1, B2 & B8 (e.g. strategic scale warehousing & logistics) & enhanced motorists roadside provision (including hotel accommodation). The site’s suitability for these uses is a reflection of a number of factors, including the Government’s decision to deliver transformational infrastructure projects to improve east-west connectivity across the Cambridge – Milton Keynes – Oxford Arc, most notably by completing the East West Rail scheme and the Expressway. The site is located adjacent to the proposed grade separated junction of the A428 / A1198 at Caxton Gibbet which will be created as part of the proposed Expressway dualling of the A428. The site is also located in a transport corridor that has and continues to be the focus of significant housing growth, including the extension of Cambourne & Bourne Airfield, but which in themselves are not providing land for a significant level of new employment provision. The site will be well suited to strategic scale logistics development, new opportunities for which are very limited in the A421/A428/A14 corridor between Bedford and Bury St Edmunds; and to meet demand for general industrial and commercial land to serve the highly constrained Cambridge market, or which are ‘forced out’ from the City by competing higher value uses and commercial developments. The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Independent Economic Review in discussing ‘Logistics & Distribution’ notes in part that this sector is likely to both grow and change in future as new methods of transport and distribution become available. The enhanced connectedness of this part of the region to the UK transport network means that the site will be eminently suitable for strategic scale logistics development. The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Local Industrial Strategy 2019 recognises supporting sectors, which are also strengths of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy, including logistics. The site provides an opportunity to create business growth in this sector.
Further work undertaken since the ‘call for sites’ submission has refined the broad location to the site identified on the accompanying drawings. This has a gross area of 168 Ha and capacity work suggests that this will provide for a net developable area of up to 89 Ha. Subject to planning, the site could be opened for development in tandem with completion of the A428 dualling. The site lends itself to delivery over three phases and would be market led.
