This policy direction is supported in trying to achieve sustainable development. Site reference 40302 is located in Linton which is one of the better served villages with a host of facilities, shops and services, far in excess of most villages throughout the District. There are significant committed funds to improve the A1307 corridor and provide for better sustainable travel infrastructure. The improvements to the sustainable transport routes along the 1307 include proposals for a new rural hub (Bartlow Road Roundabout and Rural Hub), further supporting the east side of Linton

S/SH: Settlement hierarchy

Representation ID: 58260

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Pembroke College

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

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.

H/DC: Dwellings in the countryside

Representation ID: 58270

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Pembroke College

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

The direction of policy provides some flexibility for providing development in the countryside, while ensuring the setting is not adversely affected. The suitability rating of site 40302 under the HELAA has been decided based on the potential landscape impact, should the whole site be developed. The Council is requested to reassess the landscape impacts of the proposal based on the proposal submitted. It is not the intention to develop the whole site, but rather the full extent of land is put forward to the Local Plan so that any land allocation can include areas of landscaping and open space.
