Representation Summary:

Summary: Land east of Cambridge Road, Sawston (HELAA site 40547)

Development on land east of Cambridge Road, Sawston (Ref: 531) would achieve new development in close to jobs, either accessible via the new transport route, or within the village (the site adjoins an existing commercial unit and is within a 20-minute walk of the South Cambridge Business Park).
The release of Green Belt land in Sawston is supported.Green Belt boundaries should only be altered where exceptional circumstances are fully evidenced and justified. We consider that the need to deliver new homes in sustainable locations, close to public transport routes and employment opportunities comprises an appropriate justification for Green Belt release.
