Representation Summary:

Land north of M11 and west of Hauxton Road, Trumpington (HELAA site 40048)

Refer to response to Policy S/EOC

[TMLC promoted Trumpington South within Call for Sites, Issues & Options stages. Vision document sets out proposals for site.

TMLC aspirations accord with goals of Plan - promoting sustainable travel, access to public open space, higher net gain in biodiversity than Policy BG/BG, net zero homes and generally scheme with sustainability and climate change at core. Site can be developed within first five years of plan period.

TMLC considers the site has been incorrectly scored and consider that it is suitable for development.

Site in Green Belt. Location on edge of Cambridge would be appropriate to be released. Green Belt Assessment classed site as ‘Relatively Significant’ to Purpose 1, and, ‘Moderate’ to Purpose 2 and 3. Harm rating of losing this Green Belt is ‘high’, which is lower than proposed allocation at Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

Site assessment (Ref. 40048) red for Suitable and green for available and achievable. If further constraints are included site scores red on landscape, impact onto strategic road network and Green Belt (assuming proforma missed including this).

• Landscape - TMLC Vision document makes it clear TMLC will provide double the amount of open space required, plant native trees and 25% net biodiversity gain. Aspirations for sensitive development which enhances its surroundings.

• Strategic road network - TMLC consider should be amber score. Vision document sets out how site will aim to reduce vehicle trips due to location to key public transport nodes which TMLC consider will help mitigate vehicle trips onto M11.

• Green Belt – part of parcel TR6 which includes country park and agricultural land. Should be subdivided. Much agricultural land retained as permanent green zone to M11. Masterplan configured to specifically to ensure once a new Green Belt boundary is established it shouldn’t be altered at end of plan period, and sprawl and encroachment could not occur. Overall harm assessment of High for parcel TR6 should be reduced.]
