Land adjacent to Babraham (HELAA site 40297)
We support this policy. We note that the emerging Plan seeks to classify Babraham as a ‘Group Village’ as it has a primary school. This ‘upgrade’ in classification acknowledges that the village contains a range of services and facilities which means that it is a sustainable location for growth. Such growth is clearly being promoted by the Council by draft allocation S/BRC and facilitation of the CSET scheme adjacent to the settlement. We consider Babraham has a pivotal role to play in promoting opportunities for employment in the southern cluster and that homes should be located adjacent to such opportunities. We consider that the Local Plan should seize this opportunity to co-locate employment opportunities and housing and allocate the subject site for mixed use development, as per the proposed development at this site
The reference is 40297 (Land adjacent to Babraham, CB22 3AF, CB22 3AP, CB22 3AG, CB22 3AZ). The boundary has not changed. Please see document attached S/SH Comments (1of 4 submissions due to high level of documents).
