Respondent: Ickleton Parish Council
Ickleton PC supports SCDC assessment of 2 sites in Parish, believes that site R/O 24 Brookhampton Street should also have been assessed unsuitable for development. Pleased that none of the sites to be taken forward..
Agrees that all the plots associated with the refused Agri-Tech Park are not suitable for development.
Ickleton PC supports officers’ assessments that the following sites are unsuitable for development:
Land at Coploe Road, Grange Road, Ickleton
Land south of Ickleton Road, Great Chesterford.
Land east of the A1301, south of the A505 near Hinxton, & west of the A1301, north of the A505 near Whittlesford (all options related to the refused Agri-Tech Park).
Land east of the M11, west of Duxford, Duxford.
Ickleton PC disagrees with the HELAA assessment that land to the rear of 24 Brookhampton Street, Ickleton is suitable for development. There are strong and compelling planning reasons why it is not suitable. The site should have been graded Red. Although we note SCDC does not propose taking the site forward, it should be noted that attempts to take the Call for Sites proposals forward will meet with much local opposition.
