Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Proposed Submission

As the Parish Council we have discussed the overall findings of the draft local plan for Meldreth. We propose no changes and would endorse the prospectus defined in the Local Plan.

Meldreth is designated as a Group Village in the Local Plan. We agree with the development implications of this designation as detailed in Policy S/SH:

Policy S/SH: Settlement hierarchy

9. Residential development and redevelopment up to an indicative maximum scheme size of 8 dwellings will be permitted within the defined development extents of Group villages, as defined on the Policies Map, provided that adequate infrastructure is available or can be made available as a result of the development.

10. Development may exceptionally consist of up to about 15 dwellings where this would make the best use of a single brownfield site.

Meldreth has an industrial area with brownfield potential (Eternit) designated as an Established Employment Area in the plan. We agree with this designation and the implications of Policy J/NE:



Policy J/NE: New employment and development proposals

Within Established Employment Areas in the countryside, proposals for employment development will be permitted where they are of a scale and character that reflects their location.

We welcome the inclusion of The British Queen in Appendix I: List of Safeguarded Public House Sites.
