• Historic Environment: The site is to the north of the Grade I church and close to the village Conservation Area. The site is separated from the Church by several groups of mature trees, but the tower is a prominent feature within the landscape. Any development would have regard to these views. It is proposed to locate areas of public open space adjacent to the church yard, as well as providing sight lines of the tower through the development. Any development would respect the historic character of the area, with form and layout of the development informed by a detailed Heritage Assessment. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”. • Strategic Highways Impact: The site has scored “Amber” on accessibility to services and facilities. Cottenham is defined in the current Local Plan as a Rural Centre, the highest category of settlement, and the site has adequate access to key local services, transport and employment opportunities. The site is accessible by a variety of means of transport other than the private car. It will not have an adverse impact on the strategic road network.

Provision of 102 dwellings including affordable housing and open space
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Landbeach. Landbeach 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 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 Landbeach including public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate 102 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 potential to achieve access either off the recent development at Walnut Close, or off the High Street.
Development could take place without adversely impacting the nearby Conservation Area.
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.

Provision of approximately 30,160sq.m of additional employment floorspace, with potential for additional hotel/roadside uses, open space and landscaping
The site is in close proximity to the A14 and adjacent to Buckingway Business Park, including Cambridge Services and a Travelodge. It is well contained by surrounding roadways and would be a logical location for development. It is understood that adjacent land to the west is also being promoted. There is a need for employment land in the district. The site could also provide additional hotel and roadside facilities if required. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits.
The site could accommodate 30,160sq.m of employment, retail and/or hotel floorspace in close proximity to the A14, midway between Cambridge and Huntingdon.

An existing agricultural access runs through the centre of the site. Access could be achieved through Buckingway Business Park and it is understood the site to the west is also being promoted. Site Access: the site is immediately north of the detrunked A1307 and Cambridgeshire County Council is in discussion with Highways England regarding access to the site from the A1307. Access would also be possible from Buckingway Business Park to the west, through land within the County Council’s ownership. Development would have little impact on landscape. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”.
Landscape and townscape: It is acknowledged that development in this location would encroach into the countryside, and for this reason it is proposed to amend the site area to only include the land between Buckingway Business Park and the wastewater treatment plant. Development would therefore be contained to the immediate north of the A1307. Whilst the site is open, the southern portion now proposed for allocation is already heavily affected by the A14 roadworks and the existing development to the east and west (wastewater treatment plant, hotel/services, and the Business Park). It is bound to the west west by proposed allocation S/RRA/BBP and an existing hotel, to the east by the sewage treatment works, and to the south by road infrastructure and services beyond. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”.
Most of the site is located in a Flood Zone 1 with a low risk of flooding. The north eastern portions of the site are in a Flood Zone 3.
No answer given
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. Transport and Roads: Whilst the site is remote from any settlements, the nature of the use proposed (namely, a highways depot) is unneighbourly and is required to be a certain distance from residential areas. Moreover, the site proposed has excellent access to the strategic road network. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development.

Provision of approximately 60 dwellings including affordable housing; a new school; recreation grounds and open space
The site is in close proximity to the village centre and close to existing services and facilities. It could provide a new junior school site, as well as housing, recreational and open space. Histon 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 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 Histon including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate 60 dwellings, which is a density of circa 30 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement location and character of village and surrounding area.
Landscape and townscape: It is acknowledged that development would have an impact on the countryside and for that reason the site size has been amended to 2.32ha. The site is adjacent to the new school development to the south, and residential development to the north. It is not significant in terms of views or relationship with the countryside and has not been identified as such in the Neighbourhood Plan. Development would include areas of public open space and landscape buffers to provide an enhanced settlement edge to the east and link with the allocated open space at Buxhall Farm to the north of the site. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”.

The site has direct access onto Glebe Way. Strategic Highways Impact: The site is highly accessible to a range of services, including the newly built Primary School. The site is accessible by a range of transport means other than the private car, and the addition of 60 dwellings would not give rise to a significant increase in vehicle trips. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”.

Provision of up to 40 dwellings including affordable housing and significant areas of open space/landscaping
The site has been allocated as open space in the Cambridge Local Plan. However, there are currently no plans to provide the site as open space. Any open space or recreational facilities could be funded through affordable and market housing development. Histon 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 village in recent years. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Histon including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate 40 dwellings. It is proposed to only develop the site frontage, to respond to the character of Cottenham Road and match existing development to the south and east.
is acknowledged that development in this location would encroach into the countryside. For this reason it is proposed to only develop the site frontage, to respond to the character of Cottenham Road and match existing development to the south and east. To the rear of the site significant new public amenity space could be provided. Whilst the site was allocated in the 2018 Local Plan it has not come forward and the site is not identified as open space in the Neighbourhood Plan. The Neighbourhood Plan sets out a need for formal open space, playing fields and sports pitches in Histon and Impington. Residential development to the frontage could enable delivery of open space to the rear, mitigating any landscape impact and providing valuable new services. It is requested that the score be changed to “Amber”. Green Belt Assessment: The promoted development at the site would have no adverse impact on the compactness or setting of Cambridge and it would not lead to the merging of villages. The site sits between existing development to the east and south. The site is well contained to the north, west and south. It makes limited contribution to openness. Therefore, it is considered that the site makes a limited contribution to the purposes for including land within the Green Belt. It is requested that the harm to the Green Belt from the promoted development is amended to ‘low’ harm.
