Question 2. Please submit any sites for employment and housing you wish to suggest for allocation in the Local Plan. Provide as much information and supporting evidence as possible.

The land is currently unused.

None to our knowledge Montana 55 Ltd submitted a pre-planning application in 2017 which received a positive outcome Ref: PRE/0352/17

greenfield, however, the land originally included land now occupied by 15 Orwell Road which is a recent new build property, permission having been granted in 2014.

The pre-application submitted in 2017 was for four houses but the site layout can be adjusted to accommodate five. Properties would be a mix of sizes and styles. Access would be via Orwell Road where an access already exists. We have undertaken and completed visual and swept path analysis to ensure that the access is suitable for the development.

Market and affordable housing

Nothing chosen

The site offers the opportunity to deliver a number of family houses in Barrington which is in demand. The site itself is currently just unsightly land and this provides the opportunity to enhance area for nearby residents and to make use of the land. Additional housing in Barrington will also bring additional custom to the local shop, post office and public house helping to make them more sustainable.

The site can accommodate five dwellings with gardens and parking for each, whilst also providing the necessary access road and turning points which is suitable for emergency vehicles and refuse collection. Increasing the number of properties would require a different layout which would have a much greater impact on the site and its surroundings and make access an issue. The site is approximately 0.5 hectare however, once the access road is taken into consideration the site is approximately 0.4 hectare. The layout of the site has been designed to ensure that existing properties are not impacted and that a sense of open space remains.

There is an existing access from Orwell Road which would need to be developed and surfaced. We have already under taken the necessary surveys to ensure it can support the visual splays and a swept path analysis to ensure that the access is capable of supporting the proposed number of units, emergency and refuse vehicles.

Site owned by a developer

The site enjoys a private location close to the heart of Barrington and outside of the conservation zone. We have already had a number of prospective buyers ask when properties will be available as they are keen to live here in the village and very keen on the site location. There are good transport links close by with main roads A603, A10, buses, trains (Shepreth & Foxton), a shop, post office, public house, large green areas and sports facilities in Barrington which make it very attractive yet few houses come up for sale.

There is an unsatisfied need for housing for people with local (village) connections, not fully identified in the Village Housing Needs Survey and will not be satisfied by social housing proposals currently being pursued on nearby land. The site can substantially satisfy this need. Additional family housing would assist the viability of the local school. The site is well located to meet the unsatisfied housing needs of the Greater Cambridge area. The site is also suitable as an Entry Level Exception Site. The site is opposite the local school and close to the village hall and recreation ground. Access to these sites is a cause of concern from speeding traffic and development of the site presents an opportunity for traffic calming measures, including a mini-roundabout or junction model which would significantly ameliorate the problem.

Based on a density of 25 - 30 units per hectare the site can readily accommodate approximately 40 - 45 units. It is anticipated these would include a range of predominantly smaller (1, 2 and 3 bed) units including bungalows within both market and social housing categories

The site could deliver market housing to meed identified need and 40% semi-sheltered affordable housing with different (non-market) housing tenures to creat a mixed and balanced community. The site is sustainable and would link existing public rights of way. There are no significant adverse impacts in developing this site. Village has infrastructure required to support housing delivery. The site would be close to proposed transit systems on the A428 into Cambridge. Site is within walking/cycling distance of new employment opportunities proposed at the village of Bourn and Cambourne.

Dwellinghouse adjoining public highway with hardstanding and small garden with large paddock to rear, containing a small number of modest, timber framed and clad storage and stabling structures along its Northern perimeter.

Within site: S/1028/74/D erection of bungalow, approved S/3425/18/FL new dwelling replacing existing Nissen huts in adjoining parcel of land in same ownership (refused) Adjoining site: S/0398/08/F erection of two chalet bungalows replacing single dwelling immediately north of site on streetscene facing Church S/1911/91/F erection of Searson's Barn in land to the rear of Stock's Green, approved.

Mixture of existing dwelling house and associated land and undeveloped paddock

Modest residential development at a low density, using the existing point of access to the bungalow known as 'Paddocks'. Lower density will ensure good amenity space and green buffers and, as a result, a preservation of sightlines through the land to and from the Church and the preservation of the amenity of neighbouring residents. The houses to be a mix of single, 1.5 and two storey units for variety and in response to the gentle negative slope oil topography from North to South, being mindful of ridge lines and views across site. The houses to be designed in a sympathetic manner, echoing the forms, massing and materiality of the village's historic core. Good and large amenity and green buffer spaces ensuring habitat enhancement. Management of green space to be via service charge.

Market and affordable housing , Older persons housing , Custom or self build housing

Public open space

Enhancement to streetscene with a replacement for the 1970s bungalow known as 'Paddocks', with associated benefit to the Church setting. Ecological enhancement through biodiversity (current paddock deemed to be species poor). Potential for small public accessible wildlife garden though public access would diminish species diversity. Suggested native wildflower meadow environment with mammalian and reptile habitat features, encouraging invertebrate, reptile, bird and mammalian life thereby helping support the entire local ecosystem, made less diverse by modern farming practices.

Generous plot size with abundant open space between units and perimeter green zones giving density of 9 dph. Given the constraints of heritage and openness at the edge of the settlement, with views towards open countryside, this approach is deemed preferable. Seeking maximum possible density would give rise to a contextually inappropriate suburban feel, which would be injurious to the setting of the church. Approximate unit sizes: ca. 180-220m2 each resulting in 1000m2 total of residential floorspace, and a net gain of ca 850m2 due to loss of existing 1970s bungalow known as 'Paddocks'. The site would also take a net +5 if necessary. New units to be accessed off a gently meandering access route along the Northern edge, with large South facing rear gardens in excess of mandatory standards, creating an open swathe immediately East of Searson's Barn. Suggest PD rights removed.

Heritage setting of Church. Potential for archaeology, to be protected via condition. Potential for bat roost and protected species in nearby ponds (to be dealt with by survey, condition & mitigation) Potential for archaeology due to nearby moat (to be dealt with by survey, condition & mitigation)

All services currently run to the bungalow 'The Paddocks' and can thereafter be extended to serve site, though a new foul connection to the mains sewer for the multiple new units is likely to be necessary due to insufficient pipe capacity.

Available now

Development of the paddock land could commence immediately subject to planning. Access can be given, alongside the bungalow. Replacement of the bungalow is dependent on the current occupants leaving the property. This would be the final element of the process as the scheme would be 'built out' from the back, finishing at the roadside.

None

The right scheme, sensitive to neighbours and church, could create a small number of high quality homes extremely well placed for Cambridge's burgeoning high tech medical and biotech/r&d campuses, Addenbrookes and city workers wishing to experience village life - potentially professionals with young families. Inclusion of Lifetime Homes style dwelling/s could encourage a broad on-site demographic thereby ensuring activity through the week.

The landowners wish to create a high-quality development of approximately 70 residential units (subject to technical due diligence) with strong sustainability credentials and a proportion of affordable housing. Access from the main village street would be through the orange area on the attached site map. The rest of the area hatched in green consists of a pond and woodland areas which are to be sustained as habitat for wildlife and for the enjoyment of residents of the development.

Swavesey is acknowledged by the Council and the Planning Inspector as a sustainable settlement with a good level of services and facilities. The proposal includes affordable housing. In addition, the pond and woodland areas are a unique feature of the site. They were designed by a leading conservationist and would attract visitors, both locally as the only accessible woodland in Swavesey and more widely in combination with the bird reserves at the other end of the village.

The site has an estimated capacity of up to approximately 100 dwellings (subject to further technical due diligence).

The site has no vehicular access at present but it borders on the main village street and an access road can be built through the orange area on the attached Site Map. The attached Proposed Access Plan shows that there is room for a 5.5m access road. Discussions with the County Council have been held in connection with the proposed access.

No

Yes (Please give details)

1. Flood Risk: A Flood Risk Feasibility Note by EAS dated 15/2/17 showed that there was a risk of flooding in the area through which the proposed access road would pass. Counter measures would be a bridge for the proposed road, required anyway to cross the public drain that crosses that part of the site, and/or a culvert. 2. Biodiversity: The areas hatched on the site map consist of 0.6 ha of woodland and a pond. The landowners' father, Dr N W Moore, studied the colonization of these areas since the planting of the trees (mainly in 1971-72) and the digging of the pond in 1983. He wrote a book about the site, "Oaks, Dragonflies and People" (Harley Books, 2002), which gives details of the colonization, for example by great crested newts and 19 species of dragonfly, of which 15 bred. The landowners are keen to preserve the biodiversity of the site through the development process and seek the aid of planning authorities and developers in doing so. They envisage residents of the planned development forming a management committee to balance ecological and leisure needs.

The site borders on the main village street which includes all utilities so all that will be needed are links following the path of the planned access road. As shown on the Site Map, a public drain runs across the route of the planned access road and then along the NW border of the site. An electricity supply line crosses the site from the SE corner to the NE border, dashed in blue on the attached Site Map.

The grazing of the non-wooded part of the site is let to a local farmer with a 6 months' notice period.

Enquiries received

This is a highly attractive site for the following reasons: 1. Situation in the village of Swavesey with good facilities including a popular school 2. By the time the site is developed there will be easy access to the improved A14 a mile away. This, and the guided bus station at the other end of the village, provide quick access to all the work places and amenities of Cambridge, St Ives and Huntingdon. 3. Well-established and attractive environment of pond and woodlands.

Our vision is to deliver an innovative, bespoke housing solution with supporting community facilities to meet the specific needs of Southern Cambridge and the growing Cambridge Biomedical Campus. We would like to work with major employers - creating a pathway to the right housing for their employees - in a sustainable location that removes the need for private car ownership. The unique sustainable characteristics of Trumpington South will contribute to the Councils achieving their ambition of zero carbon by 2050. A mix of community and workspaces would support the new housing. This could include: - Education - Community - Work Hubs - Micro-consolidation centre for on-line deliveries - Community concierge to support 'active travel' options. Trumpington South is particularly well suited for this role: - It is exceptionally well connected to Cambridge Biomedical Campus and the City Centre via cycle networks, the guided busway and Park & Ride. - The existing community at Trumpington Meadows has an established active travel culture, with 61% of residents choosing to cycle to work*. - Sustainable connections are set to improve with a planned extension to the Park & Ride to the south of the site, an extended guided busway, trials of Autonomous vehicles on the guided busway from , and a planned new railway station at Cambridge South. - Trumpington South can build on these sustainable credentials, extending them and delivering a distinctive residential quarter with a thriving active travel culture. - Trumpington South would broaden the range of housing choices – tenure, design, affordability, sharing options – available to local people and workers. All within 10 to 15 minutes cycle ride or guided bus journey of Addenbrokes and the biomedical cluster, and the City Centre. - This is a place where ‘active travel’ and public transport can reduce congestion and the use of the car, improving air quality, supporting healthy lifestyles, and ultimately moving towards a Zero Carbon future. Please see supporting document submitted via email for full description.

This development would provide a sustainable extension to south Cambridge which: - Meets the local housing need through providing a range of accommodation to support Southern Cambridge and the biotechnology cluster - It is exceptionally well connected to existing public transport infrastructure and planned improvements to the public transport network - Supports the expansion of travel corridors and use of innovative modes of movement for those living in the immediate area, and provides opportunities to improve connections with the city centre and villages to the south - Sites within a strong established green infrastructure network next to Trumpington Country Park, with direct connections to a network of footpaths and cycle ways - Enhanced community offer for residents in the wider area to use - We believe there is merit in the Councils undertaking a Green Belt review in this location to support the growth of Southern Cambridge, acknowledging overall vision for the site

The site is well served by public transport and the cycle network. It is also within walking distance to a local centre and education facilities. It is clear that the site provides an opportunity for a higher density of development than has been achieved at Trumpington Meadows. This would not require tall buildings. Buildings of between 4 to 5 storeys would deliver a high-density community of approximately 750 + units, with active ground floors with workspace and community hubs. This scale of development would sit comfortably into the landscape of the southern fringe. The site is also suitable for a range of employment uses, which could be incorporated into a rich mix of uses.

Surface water drainage to be attenuated and managed on-site. The strategy was agreed with Cambridgeshire County Council for a scheme of twelve houses (County letter ref. FR/17-000529 dated 13/12/2017). A scheme for eight houses would reduce the volume of impermeable surfaces and the volume of rain water to be attenuated and infiltrated to the aquifer.

Cambridge Local Plan (October 2018) allocations GB1 and GB2 are located to the south east of the site either side of Wort's Causeway. Applications are emerging.

Greenfield

The landowners and land promoter (CEG) are keen to work with the Council's to establish exactly what form of development could come forward in this location. In the document 'South East Cambridge: Options for Sustainable Growth' which accompanies this submission, a number of options have been set out to show how the site could be brought forward. This includes the extension of Peterhouse Technology Park & ARM HQ (potentially delivered with some housing alongside), residential development extending beyond the initial phases of development in this location at GB1 and GB2 and a significant country park.

Market and affordable housing , Key worker housing , Older persons housing , Residential care home , Student accommodation , Custom or self build housing , Employment (B1) office , Employment (B1b) research and development , Employment (B1c) light industrial

Schools and education , Public open space , Community facilities , Recreation and leisure , Healthcare , Hotel , Retail

The site is strategically well located in relation to a number of local employment, leisure, education and transport destinations. It is also close to existing public transport hubs (Babraham Road Park and Ride and Addenbrooke's Hospital bus station) and this would be further enhanced by the implementation of a sustainable travel strategy for the site. Presently, 57% of residents in this part of Cambridge walk, cycle or take public transport to work, and the scheme would seek to maintain or better this as the site is in a highly sustainable location for development. The expansion of Peterhouse Technology Park provides a unique opportunity to increase employment options in this part of the city. It is clear that allocated employment areas in locations outside of the city have been less desirable, and the drive and demand for employment space in and on the edge of the city of Cambridge is strong. This provides an opportunity to address this issue. Residential development in this location would help meet market and affordable housing needs and provide accommodation for knowledge workers, allowing them to work and live in a compact city and support its competitive advantage as the UK's most successful local economy.

up to 1,500 residential units and 600,000 to 1.5 million sq. ft of employment floorspace.

There are no current vehicular access points form the highway. Limekin Road currently runs through the site (from north to south). Two access points could be created on Fulbourne Road. Pedestrian access could also be sought from Cherry Hinton Chalk Pits, Peterhouse Technology Park and Wort's Causeway. The addition of a strategic connection between the two development parcels could facilitate a link between Cherry Hinton and Babraham Road.

Yes (please give details)

The overall site has varying ground levels (of between 20m and 65m above sea level), but overall it comprises gently sloping land. The highest point within the land parcel is located at the south-eastern corner of the site adjacent to Wort's Causeway. Development would be restricted to relatively flat ground and would not encroach into sloping land leading into the foothills of the Gog Magog Hills.

Yes (Please give details)

The site lies within Flood Zone 1 (at low risk of flooding). There are no listed buildings within the site. A Grade II listed milestone is located on Worts' Causeway just south of the site (list entry number: 1331933), but this will not constrain any development opportunities within the land parcel. A small section of the site (including Limekiln Road and south of the east chalk pit) is within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Additionally, the land south of Netherhall School (within the site) and the chalk pits (which are outside the site) are designated as Protected Open Space. The chalk pits are also Nature Reserves. A flood risk assessment will be submitted as part of the planning application as the site is over 1ha. A green space could be retained around SSSI which would link to the chalk pits. This will be beneficial in ecology/biodiversity terms, but also as an open space for residents to use.

Within the site there is a High Pressure Gas Main. This runs from the junction between Limekiln Road/Worts' Causeway north-east, and then runs north along the boundary of the site and the chalk pit, and then through the Peterhouse Technology Park (outside of the site). There are also three Water Main routes through the site (one running from the south-western part of the site to the reservoirs south of the east chalk pit. The two other water mains run from the reservoirs eastwards - one runs diagonally north of Westbourne Farm, and the other runs north and meets Peterhouse Technology Park. There is a row of electricity pylons located along the eastern boundary of the site where there is a line of trees bordering Westbourn Farm. Capacity for gas and water will need to be reinforced for a development in this site. A provision for mains sewerage, electricity supply and broadband internet will be made for any development on this site.

Next 5 years

For sites to be developable, the NPPF states that sites should be in a suitable location for development with a reasonable prospect that they will be available and can be viably developed at the point envisaged. The overall site is available now and it would be reasonable to estimate that development could start within the next 5 years. In Government guidance, land is considered available when there is confidence that there are no legal or ownership problems (e.g. multiple ownership's, ransom strips and tenancy issues). Both landowners have expressed an intention to develop the site, and there are no ransom strips. The land is also promoted by CEG. Therefore, the land is considered available.

Part of the site is within flood zones 2 and 3, although the attached masterplan demonstrates that residential development can be accommodated within Zone 1, with the remainder of the site set aside for open space. The Council's SHLAA 2013 identified heritage issues as a constraint. That is not accepted - views of the site from the Conservation Areas are limited to the western boundary of Impington St Andrew’s Conservation Area. Due to the mass and density of the boundary vegetation along the eastern boundary of the site, views of development on the site are unlikely to be significant. The very limited view from Clay Lane Close, across substantial vegetation is unlikely to have an adverse affect on the character or appearance . Therefore there would not be any harm of the to St Andrews Conservation Area. Merrington Place has altered views from the east to the Histon and Impington Conservation Area and the site is not visible from this Conservation Area. Built development lies between the site and the Histon & Impington Conservation Area and accordingly there are no views of the countryside from the Conservation Area across this site. With regards to concerns in relation to listed buildings, the site is not visible from nearby listed buildings due to the intervening residential buildings and there would therefore be no harm to their setting. The presence of the listed buildings did not prevent the development of Merrington Place, which lies between the objection site and the listed buildings.

There are a number of proposed development options under consideration: Scenario A: A residential housing scheme, to be delivered at circa 30dph. This would deliver approximately 25 dwellings and an appropriate mix of market and affordable homes. Scenario B: A scheme for Older Persons Housing is also under consideration. There are various options available to the landowner, including the potential for a retirement/ care village development.

Market and affordable housing , Key worker housing , Older persons housing , Residential care home , Other forms of housing

Public open space , Community facilities , Recreation and leisure , Healthcare

The scenario A option currently being considered relates to the delivery of 25 residential dwellings, including 10 affordable housing units (40% of overall provision). The appended initial viability assessment has been undertaken by an independent viability expert, Bailey Venning Associates (BVA). The identified affordable housing dwellings would provide a significant benefit to the local area and households who may not currently be able to rent, or purchase, on the open market. A density of 30 dwellings per hectare will achieve an efficient use of land. The indicative viability assessment appended to this form also illustrates that the notional 25 unit scheme has the potential to deliver other developer contributions which are likely to benefit the local community. The initial viability assessment of the 25 unit development inludes a notional Section 106 allowance of £15,000 per unit. The results of viability testing indicates that the proposed scheme option can sustain this level of developer contribution. On the above basis, this Section 106 'pot' is potentially available to contribute to local infrastructure that is reasonable in planning terms (education, healthcare, community facilities, etc.) The Option B Scenario (Retirement/ Care Village) also has the potential to deliver significant benefits for the local community. Like any other age group, older people are diverse and their housing needs and options are similarly varied, reflecting their age, tenure, geographical location, income, equity, health and individual preferences. Older people who wish to move should be able to choose from a wide range of housing to accommodate their needs and preferences. Unfortunately, there is a lack of available older person's housing at the local and District level. The proposed Retirement/ Care Village option has the potential to provide significant benefits to the local community, including accessible/ specialist housing. The right kind of housing can keep older people healthy and support them to live independently.

Option A - 25 Residential Dwellings: In terms of Option A, an illustrative scheme is attached to this form. This assumes a 25 unit residential development, delivering a mix of 2/3 and 4 bed dwellings (including 10 affordable housing units). The notional scheme examined has a Gross Internal Floor area of 2,413 m2. The above estimate is based upon a preliminary assessment of the level of residential development that the proposed site is likely to sustain. Option B - Retirement/ Care Village: At this stage, various options are being considered for the Retirement/ Care Village. On this basis, we've not included an estimate of the number of potential residential units. A detailed viability assessment of the retirement village has not been undertaken. However, the value profile in the loca area is favourable, meaning that a feasible/ deliverable scheme is very likely. This is also based upon our experience of advising upon older person's housing across the UK and wider region.

In February 2019, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) produced 'The Housing Delivery Test 2018 measurement', an annual measurement of housing delivery in the area of relevant plan-making authorities. The above delivery tests indicates that the District of South Cambridge required 2,577 homes over the period 2015/16 to 2017/18. In this time period, 2,000 homes were delivered, or 76% of the identified requirement. In order to rectify this undersupply there are delivery opportunities related to the identification of small/ medium size sites across the District, including the proposed site at 144 Cambridge Road. The proposed site is not encumbered by abnormal costs and is available now, in order to contribute towards housing needs across the District and local area.

The site is within a favourable location in Great Shelford with good access to key services, facilities, jobs and infrastructure. The proposed site is surrounded by residential development and further residential development would not be out of place. The proposed site is also close to public transport routes with a local bus service travelling to and from Cambridge City centre and surrounding villages. The bus stops are located within a very short walking distance to the proposed site. The site can be integrated into the existing pattern of residential development and make a positive contribution towards the housing stock of Great Shelford and the District of South Cambridgeshire.

Amenity land, dwelling and former agricultural building

Agricultural use

Planning permission for residential development at the site was refused on 7th February 1989 (SC/2977/88/O). The application was refused as it was contrary to planning policy at the time. The reasons for refusal included the following: - The development was not required to fulfil a five-year housing land supply; - The development would detract from and intrude into the countryside north of Duxford Clearly policy matters and the relationship of the site to existing dwellings has changed in the intervening time. The land is now adjacent to the development framework for Duxford – planning permission for fourteen dwellings was granted on 10th November 2006 (S/0827/03/F). Consequently, the site is hard up against the built form of Duxford and forms a logical extension to that form. Part of the site is used for the storage of caravans. This use was conferred by permission S/0467/09/LDC, which was granted on 22 April 2010.

Mixture

Erection of approximately 45 dwellings to include access, public open space and landscaping

Market and affordable housing , Custom or self build housing

Public open space

The site is being promoted for residential use, to include an appropriate provision of affordable housing and self-build plots. This use would include land for access/roads, landscaping and public open space. The benefits of the proposed development are wide ranging and will promote the social, economic and environmental objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. The site is located in a highly sustainable location, adjacent to the existing development framework for Duxford and existing services and facilities. Development at the site would promote the delivery of housing and continued economic growth in the region.

The site was promoted in the Council’s call for sites consultation in 2012 and was assessed by the Council under site 086 (Maarnford Farm, Hunts Road, Duxford). This comprised the promotion of the land (1.66 hectares) for approximately 60 dwellings. The Council’s assessment of the site assumed a developable area of 1.49 hectares with a capacity of 45 dwellings. This assumes a density of around 30 dwellings per hectare. We consider this density to be appropriate for an edge-of-village location and in line with the Council’s previous assessment of the site. This would be a net density and would allow for infrastructure such as access, landscaping, open space and any necessary mitigation measures. We suggest that any planning policy which relates to a residential allocation at the site makes it clear that this is an indicative capacity and that this capacity should be informed by a master planning exercise.

Access to/from the site could be taken from Maarnford Close or Hunts Road. Hunts Road is straight at the point of access and it is not considered that there would be any issues associated with visibility at a new junction, to serve the development. In respect of access, the Council’s 2012 SHLAA Assessment states that “A junction located on to Hunts Road would be acceptable to the Highway Authority. The proposed site is acceptable in principle subject to detailed design.” We consider that this statement is still accurate and that any access to/from the site of Hunts Road would not have any adverse impact on highways safety.

No

The site comprises amenity land and caravan storage although it contains some former agricultural buildings and a dwelling. Whilst the former use of the buildings could be associated with some localised contamination, we do not consider this would impact on the deliverability and viability of the site.

No

The site is in Flood Zone 1, which is at the lowest level of flooding. As such, residential development is appropriate in this location. Any planning application would be accompanied by a Drainage Strategy which would outline how surface and foul water could be managed. The site comprises amenity land and caravan storage although it contains some former agricultural buildings. In itself, the site does not appear to have any biodiversity value. This would be subject to an assessment as part of any planning application and any development at the site would have the potential to enhance biodiversity at and adjacent to the site. The site is not located adjacent to any heritage assets including Listed buildings or conservation areas, which could restrict the scope and extent of development at the site. Any development at the site may need to be accompanied by an archaeological assessment, but there is no reason to believe that this could limit or prevent development at the site. In respect of landscape impact, the Council’s 2012 SHLAA assessment states that: “The low hedges around this site and its use for caravan storage help create a harsh edge to the village in this location. Residential development here would intrude into the countryside and so have an adverse effect on landscape setting of Duxford. This impact could be minimised by strengthening the boundary hedgerows and trees.” Whilst the assessment concludes that any development could adversely impact on the wider countryside setting of the site, it concedes that this impact could be minimised by strengthening the boundary. The ‘harsh edge’ is akin to the development at Maarnford Close, which has assimilated into the countryside over time. This development is surrounded on its northern side by a hedge and in fact, does not impact unduly on the wider countryside setting.

No

The site is located adjacent to the existing development framework for Duxford and it is considered that connections could be made to existing services - including electricity, gas, sewerage, telecommunications and water.
