Great Abington LSA Estate - Designating a Neighbourhood Area - June 2016

Representation ID: 166245

Received: 27/06/2016

Respondent: Mrs Amanda Butchart

Representation Summary:

There has been no consistency applied to recent applications. Clear planning guidance needs to be implemented.

We support a policy of re-development of redundant outbuildings to create residential/live work properties. We propose a maximum development of two such units per original dwelling.

Each proposed unit should be constructed using eco-building technologies in line with the planning policy for the former LSA at Fen Drayton.

The existing infrastructure in our opinion would support this. Would be in keeping with South Cambs self build policy.

Must agree to become members of the road management company to ensure maintenance of the roads.

As residents within the proposed Neighbourhood plan, we have been asked to give our views on the future development of the former land settlement site.

It is our opinion that a controlled development of residential/live work use should be encouraged.

It is a fact that there has been no consistency applied to recent applications. A clear planning guidance needs to be implemented on a level playing field .

We support a policy of re development of redundant out buildings to create residential/live work properties.

We propose a maximum development of 2 such units per original dwelling. Approved annexes to count as one unit.

Each proposed unit would be constructed with Eco building technologies in line with the planning policy afforded to the former land settlement site at Fen Drayton in North Cambs.

The existing infrastructure in our opinion would support this and the increase in residential properties would justify open reach broadband provision to a expectable level.

We understand that South Cambs are perusing a self build policy and this would be in keeping with that.

Any development must agree to become members of the road management company to ensure maintenance of the roads.
