There is an existing access into the site from Ashwell Road to the west of the site, this would need to be widened and enhanced as part of any development at the site. Please refer to the Site Location Plan. A full transport assessment would be undertaken as part of any planning application at the site.
There are no significant changes in ground level. The ground level remains at approximately 50 AOD.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 and therefore at a low risk of flooding. The site is not under any land designations. Additional surveys including full ecological surveys would be undertaken as part of any planning application.
The site benefits from good access to key services in Guilden Morden, Steeple Morden and Ashwell.
If any further information is required, the applicants are happy to provide details.
The site if of a modest size, which could be delivered quickly, without the need for substantial infrastructure to be provided. As it is a Brownfield site there will be the need to demolish and remove existing agricultural buildings and equipment which could slightly delay the process.
The site is located in a rural desirable location with attractive countryside views. As stated within the cover letter Guilden Morden and nearby villages are comprised of wide-ranging services and facilities that will benefit from a small residential development. The site benefits from being unconstrained in planning terms and is well-related within the settlement.
The landowners are fully committed to bringing the site forward for residential development.
No, this if the first time the land has been promoted for residential development.

The development of an AgriTech technology park comprising up to 112,000 sqm (gross) employment floorspace, supporting infrastructure, amenities and landscape works including publicly accessible informal open space, enhancements to parkland; vehicle and cycle parking; service areas; bus / cycle interchange on land west of the A1301 / north of A505; and infrastructure works including new vehicular accesses, highway improvement works, pedestrian and cycle links with bridge crossings over A1301 / A505 and River Cam, site re-profiling, drainage works, foul and water pumping stations and primary electricity sub station; telecommunications infrastructure and other associated works
Employment (Sui-Genesis) Recreation and Leisure - Gym Retail - Café As set out in the documentation submitted with planning application S/4099/17/OL the development will create a globally significant park for AgriTech that hosts a vibrant community of commercial companies to address agricultural productivity and sustainability challenges. Positively impacting global food security, environmental sustainability, agricultural supply chain sustainability and economic sustainability, the AgriTech Park's potential contribution to building a Britain fit for the future. AgriTech contributes £14.3bn to the UK economy and employees 500,000 people. The project will directly create 4,000 (FTE) AgriTech jobs, 1 million square feet of commercial AgriTech cluster space and around 200 jobs per year during the 10-15 year construction period with a smaller number of jobs created in off-site enabling construction works. Circa 2,145 jobs on site (of the 4,000 referred to above) are anticipated to be filled by residents of South Cambridgeshire. On site and wider job creation is estimated to increase regional GVA by around £277 million per annum by 2030, and a 7% increase in employment in the agricultural technology sector at the UK level. In summary, the proposals will deliver: • A mix of occupiers from large anchor AgriTech tenants, to start up and grow-on space for companies in a location at the heart of the agricultural industry and its direct supply chain (e.g. agricultural machinery, seed companies etc.) • A mix of offices, laboratories, workshops and field trial facilities to help companies develop, commercialise and market agricultural technologies (the precise balance of accommodation types being responsive to occupier interest, specific requirements and market conditions) • Ancillary supporting facilities such as a café, nursery and gym for use by employees located on the AgriTech Park • Access to supporting business infrastructure to help AgriTech companies grow and develop e.g. specialist consultancy, investment capital, trade and inward investment services by tapping into local expertise in the Cambridge technology community as well as national services such as the Agricultural Technology Organisation at the Department for International Trade • Network of green and blue infrastructure including a series of publicly accessible routes within and around the site for walking, cycling, running, horse riding and dog walking • Significant improvements to the highway network, along with a range of sustainable transport measures to maximise usage of other modes, including a shuttle service to Whittlesford Parkway and enhanced linkages to the station via foot and cycle, including across the A505 • The promotion of linkages between commercial and local community so that the area South of Cambridge reinforces its role as a location which is attractive to residents, those who work or invest in the area and which sustains high quality, knowledge-led jobs.

The vision for the proposed development is a landscape-led urban extension to Cambridge to be delivered by a consortium of Colleges and the University of Cambridge, all being permanent stakeholders in the local community / economy and seeking to retain a signifcant long-term interest in the project. The aim for the proposed development is to deliver a high quality development with high sustainability standards, delivering a net gain in biodiversity. The consortium is highly committed to such aims and their long-term stewardship of the site will assist in delivering these. The proposed development is anticipated to comprise the following mix of uses: - Between 2,400 and 2,800 dwellings, including market and affordable / social housing with a range of tenures, housing for University and College staff, housing for elderly people (including care) and student accommodation; - community facilities including primary school, community centre, health centre; - neighbourhood centre including supermarket and other shops, services and facilities; - connections to the existing and planned walking, cycling and public transport network in the local area, and a development which places the needs of pedestrians and cyclists ahead of car users; - a comprehensive new green infrastructure network comprising open space and sports pitches, a new country park with potential connections to Coton Countryside Reserve, wildlife areas and biodiversity enhancement, and strategic landscaping; and, - sustainability measures including a water recycling system, district heating system and underground waste collection system.
The benefits of development at land north of Barton Road and to the west of Cambridge, include the following: - the provision of housing and affordable housing for key workers, including but not limited to University and College staff; - the provision of residential accommodation for the elderly, including care provision; - an accessible country park with potential connections to Coton Countryside Reserve offering significant scope for biodiversity enhancement; - delivery of a green 'wedge' of publicly accessible open space providing access from the City to the countryside to the west of Cambridge; - other green infrastructure and strategic landscaping to address visual impact and provide a buffer with the M11 to address noise and air quality impacts; - improvements to walking and cycling routes to encourage travel by non-car modes of transport (which is far more attainable from an edge of Cambridge site than from more distant locations away from the city); - potential to provide land for the Cambourne to Cambridge High Quality Public Transport Corridor, which is a Greater Cambridge Partnership project; - potential to contribute towards the planned for Western Orbital Route, which is a Greater Cambridge Partnership project; - the creation of additional north south public transport and cycle routes, and the provision of connections to existing developments at NW Cambridge, West Cambridge and Addenbrookes/Cambridge Biomedical Campus; - the potential provision of land for park & ride / park & cycle; and - the provision of a new local centre for the west Cambridge area as well as additional health and education infrastructure.
The land north of Barton Road was previously promoted for approximately 1,500 dwellings. The quantum of development proposed at that time was based on the outcome of an illustrative masterplan process. This fed into the previous review of the two Local Plans for the area. Section 3.5 'Compact City - Urban Extension' of the National Infrastructure Commission's (NIC) Final Report (February 2018) references land north of Barton Road and to the west of Cambridge as a prime case study to illustrate the sustainable delivery of an urban extension while maintaining the concept of a compact city. The case study acknowledged the opportunity to deliver a design and landscape-led development to the west of Cambridge, which includes medium and high density development around green wedges providing access to the countryside, in a location which is accessible to the City by walking and cycling. Moreover, the Cambridge & Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER) report (September 2018) identifies in Section 2.3 the benefits of 'fringe growth' allowing large numbers of people who work in the city to be housed not too far from their place of work, with positive effects on well-being. Against this emerging economic background, a revised illustrative masterplan will be prepared for the proposed development to take into account the matters raised in the NIC case study for this site and as touched upon in the CPIER report i.e. a design and landscape-led development, including a substantial green wedge and medium and higher density development. Having regard to development densities achieved on other sites on the periphery of the city, it is considered that a development of around 2,000 dwellngs might be achievable; however, this will need to necessarily flow from the masterplanning process and will not be the driver or starting point.

A number of technical documents were prepared for the previous promotion of the site, including an Ecological Appraisal, Initial Landscape & Visual Appraisal, Transport Report, Flood Risk Assessment and Archaeological Desk Based Assessment. The Landscape & Visual Impact Appraisal concluded that, in landscape terms, the land to the north of Barton Road located closer to the existing urban edge is suitable for development. The proposed development will incorporate strategic landscaping and other landscape enhancement measures, alongside open space and recreation facilities. In terms of the Green Belt, the site has only a localised effect on the setting of the City and it does not give rise to any material effect on the coalescence of Cambridge with the outlying villages of Grantchester and Coton and it does not form a significant part of the setting of Cambridge. The Ecological Appraisal of the site concluded that a sensitively designed development can be delivered at the site without significant ecological impacts, subject to implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. A wildlife reserve and country park could be provided as part of the development, either within the site or in the surrounding area to provide ecological enhancement. The promoters of the site are committed to enhancing the site's biodiversity and intend to promote the development having regard to the Nature Tookit as recommended by the Natural Cambridgeshire Local Nature Partnership (LNP). The Transport Report concluded that the location of the site and local transport services available means that future residents of the proposed development would have a wide and realistic choice of travel modes for trips to shopping, work and leisure purposes. It is concluded that in transport terms development at land north of Barton Road would meet appropriate national and local policies aimed at securing sustainable development by reducing both the need to travel by private motor vehicle, and the length of motorised journeys. This provides distinct sustainabilty advantages compared to more dispersed sites, located away from the city of Cambridge The Drainage & Flood Risk Report assessed the extent to which flood risk may be a constraint to development at the site. All of the buildings within the proposed development would take place on land within Flood Zone 1 which equtes to low flood risk areas. There is sufficient land available to include flood storage areas within the proposed development, in order to manage surface water run-off from the site. Any access roads across the flood zones can be designed to Environment Agency requirements to ensure that the roads themselves are safe and do not cause any increase in flood risk by restricting river flow or displacing flood water storage. An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment was prepared for the site to determine the presence/absence of known archaeological sites within the study area and immediate environs, and to assess the potential for archaeological remains surviving within the development site. The possible areas of greatest archaeological potential are the area of Iron Age settlement south of Barton Road, land either side of the Roman Akeman Street, a gravel outcrop adjacent to the Bin Brook, and the higher ground around “Aldermanne Hill” and “The Clint” on the northern and western edges of the site. It was concluded that the impact of the proposed development on any archaeological remains would be off-set by design to preserve those remains in situ or by excavation to preserve by record. There are no constraints to the principle of development at the site. The main conclusions of these reports are unlikely to have altered since they were undertaken. Those reports will nevertheless be updated to support the promotion of the site through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process and will feed into the preparation of a new masterplan. This will be particularly so in relation to landscaping and biodiversity, whereby the need to protect and enhance the site's natural capital will be an absolute driver for the development. Updated information submitted at Issues & Options stage in February 2020 – see following documents: - Vision Document (David Lock Associates) - Landscape and Visual Appraisal and Green Belt Review (The Landscape Partnership) - Initial Noise Assessment (WSP) - Air Quality Constraints Report (WSP) - Archaeological Desk Based Assessment (Cambridge Archaeological Unit) - Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (The Landscape Partnership) - Flood Risk and Drainage Appraisal (Peter Brett Associates) - Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory Analysis (Bidwells) - Greater Cambridge Housing Market Economics Analysis (Bidwells) - Initial Heritage Impact Assessment (Bidwells) - Greater Cambridge Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (Iceni Projects Ltd) - Transport Technical Note (WSP)

The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure.
The site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process before it will be available for development. It is likely that, as with other previous strategic allocations on the edge of Cambridge, there will be a requirement for a supplementary planning document and a masterplan to be prepared, submitted and approved in advance of any planning application for the proposed development at the site. The assessment of site availability reflects the process that will be required, consultation with statutory consultees and the local community, the determination of the outline application and subsequent reserved matters, and the delivery of primary infrastructure.
The landowners within North BRLOG are experienced at promoting land within their ownership for development, and as such it has not been necessary to engage a developer at this stage. The University of Cambridge is managing the delivery of the North West Cambridge development. The development at North West Cambridge and other strategic sites on the edge of Cambridge demonstrate that such sites are attractive to the market. A report was prepared for the previous promotion of the site which demonstrated that urban extension sites on the edge of Cambridge are deliverable and viable, which is typically not the case for strategic sites in other locations including new settlements. In due course the previous report on deliverability and viability will be updated.
There are no legal or landownership constraints to development at the site. The site is promoted by like-minded organisations.

n/a
Not known
Developed as paved/green area for informal parking and access to Anglian Water Pumping station - brownfield site.
The proposal comprises up to 5 self/custom-build/modular plots to be provided by the Council.
The proposed development would provide self/custom-build plots for new housing in Fen Ditton. The site may also be used for the installation of up to five modular units. SCDC is a Vanguard Authority for Self and Custom Build Housing. There are in excess of 480 applicants on the Council's Self-Build Register. The needs of these applicants are currently not being met by the limited number of plots available in the SCDC area. The associated landscaping will provide ecological benefits to the area. The proposal will support the existing services and facilities in Fen Ditton, including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. The Parish Council and local Members are concerned with alleged drug dealing on the site and other anti-social behaviours and have suggested the vacant plot should be used to provide housing.
The site could provide up to five Modular units with a GIA of between 70 and 100 sq.metres. Alternatively, the site will also prove suitable for up to three self-build plots.

Anglian Water sewers pass through the site. However, these will easily be avoided through the strategic location of proposed buildings.
The plot is in ownership of SCDC.
There have been requests from the Parish Council and the local Member to develop the site for housing. The demand for parking is minimal as most residents have created parking bays to the front of the properties and the Parish claims the site is being used for drug dealing and anti-social behaviour. The site is located close to important employment centres in nearby Cambridge (e.g Marshalls) and will offer suitable accommodation for people who wish to cycle or walk to work.

Access provision will need to be made for the proposed development. See indicative Masterplan and vision document.
No major ground level constraints. The site is relatively flat.
The site is not within a EA Flood Zone. There is no evidence of previous industrial/commercial use that would suggest the site is contaminated. There are no heritage assets within the site or in close proximity. The Green Belt boundary will need to be amended to accommodate the site allocation. Compensatory measures can be demonstrated to justify amending the Green Belt boundary. Preliminary phase 1 assessments will be carried out to understand the site conditions and habitat content.
Infrastructure and utility connections will be identified and provision secured to ensure the proposed development is facilitated accordingly.
There are commercial units and farmhouses adjacent to the south-east boundary. Therefore, it would be acceptable to assume the site will have access to key utilities and provision/created for to enable the development.
The site is available and could deliver housing either as a housing allocation in the new local plan or through a planning application in advance of the new plan, which would make a significant contribution towards housing, education, open space, care provision in this part of the District.
The east of Cambridge has taken relatively little housing growth in the past 20 years, which is at odds with employment levels which have grown in the area. Housing here would help to rebalance the distribution of housing and employment uses. Fulbourn remains relatively affordable given the Cambridge villages have avoided the rapid price inflation seen in Central Cambridge. It's location and proximity to Cambridge City, which lends itself to a transport strategy using buses and cycling, is desirable.
