This is a partly brownfield site (50%) within a predominantly residential area, surrounded by existing development and soon to be adjacent the Eddington development on its southern boundary. The site is within an urban environment and within a very sustainable location with vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access directly from the Huntingdon Road. Much of the built form in the vicinity of the site is of large detached dwellings along Huntingdon Road and within nearby Girton village. Huntingdon Road is on key routes with ease of access into and out of Cambridge. The site abuts the village development boundary of Girton and the site (being surrounded on three sides by built form (current and proposed) is appropriately located. The site does not serve a greenbelt purpose as it does not fulfil the five purposes of greenbelt designation. There is an acute need for care home/elderly persons accommodation in the district and to serve the local area. This site is ideally located within an urban area of large detached dwellings. The new joint local plan will need to contain a specific planning policy to accommodate retirement/elderly persons living. This site will help deliver that policy.
