Land east of M11, west of Duxford, Duxford (HELAA site 40095)

IWM and Caius responded to 2019 and 2020 “call for sites” (Reference 40095) to promote a globally significant aviation and air mobility innovation centre with associated proposals to expand Duxford village to provide new homes and community facilities for existing residents and those working and linked with Whittlesford Parkway for sustainable movement and access.

HELAA assessment found the proposals “available” and “achievable” but considered them “unsuitable” primarily because of impact on immediate historic environment around Duxford village.

Attach report with our updated assessment of criteria. It is considered a number of assessment criteria should be re-considered and the sites accepted as suitable and included as an allocation.

HELAA did not appear to include any assessment of overall economic, infrastructure and public benefits.
