Land between Balsham Road and Horseheath Road, Linton (HELAA site 40302)
The site being promoted under reference 40302 is in Linton. The policy direction seeks to maintain Linton’s position and status in the settlement hierarchy as a Minor Rural Centre; however, the infrastructure improvements being made under the Cambridge South East Transport project seeks to provide better connections between Linton and Cambridge which support Linton to achieve the status of Rural Centre, given the great range of existing services that are akin to a Rural Centre. Further improvements to the existing services infrastructure in Linton can be secured through S106 agreement and financial contributions, associated with new development.
