Therefore, this site identifies itself as a sustainable location for residential development. The site is located in close proximity to a number of facilities and services including the village shop, primary school, employment opportunities and public house. There are a number of community and leisure facilities in Girton. Less than 150m from the site lies a bus stop which provides a regular bus service into Cambridge City Centre. There are also footpaths and cycleways along Huntingdon Road which offer a sustainable method of transport into the City. It is considered that the Councils should look at this opportunity to secure much need new market housing (including affordable housing) in this sustainable location in one of the better served villages which has good public transport and cycling links into Cambridge. A review of Green Belt boundaries is consequently required a part of the plan review and in such a context the site is considered appropriate for new residential development.
