S/RRA/MF Land at Mansel Farm, Station Road, Oakington
Site S/RRA/MF in Oakington should not be included. The green belt here is more important than ever due to the minimal separation of Northstowe from the village (which was not as originally promised.) Building up on both sides of Oakington is not safeguarding its heritage and landscape (ref. “Vision”). The field adjacent to the site regularly floods. These 20 houses are a tiny part of the overall plan but the development will have a big negative impact in a village already hugely affected by Northstowe. Greenbelt release is not justifiable.
