Respondent: Hill
Sawston is described as being located 'in the Area of Restraint South of Cambridge'. However, there is no such allocation in the Local Plan. The Village is designated as a Rural Centre (policy S/8), which are described as '. . .the largest, most sustainable villages of the district' (para. 2.55). As such 'there is no strategic constraint on the amount of development or redevelopment of land for housing that can come forward within the development frameworks' (para. 2.56). Far from being an area of restraint, Sawston has been allocated as a location that can accommodate growth.
