Low density residential use with a proportion of housing limited to local (ie Parish) occupation. Site to focus on small dwellings (2/3 bed) and starter homes.
Provision of small/starter homes with some for village residents is likely to be supported by residents and the Parish Council. Will provide clear social and economic benefits locally.
The site measures approximately 0.9ha and we suggest 70% site coverage. So, at 25dph, this would suggest around 15/16 dwellings.

There is an existing field access on to Barton Road which would need to be improved to create an access to adoptable standards given the potential site capacity. Barton Road is straight in this location and offers good visibility although some trees could be removed to facilitate this.
The boundary hedgerows/tree lines would all be maintained and would need to be subject to a detailed ecology survey but this is not seen as a key constraint. There are listed buildings near by but the site now proposed is sufficiently far away so as not to adversely affect those buildings or their settings. The containment of the site, due to its vegetated boundaries, means there is virtually no impact on the wider landscape in this area.
We understand that services/utilities are available in Barton Road.
The site is in single ownership and in our opinion, is relatively constraint-free, and so it is possible to commence development in the short term, subject to planning. It is self-contained and does not require any infrastructure improvements to our knowledge.
Haslingfield is an attractive village with healthy housing demand. There is also demand for small dwellings for local resident occupation.

Residential development including associated open space, roads, landscaping and so forth.
The benefits of the proposed development are wide-ranging and will promote the social, economic and environmental objectives of the NPPF.
Assuming 60% coverage of the gross site area, and a maximum of 25dph, the site could potentially accommodate 250 dwellings.

Brookhampton Street.
It is understood that, given the likely site capacity, adequate services exist within the adjacent road.
As there are no obvious physical constraints and the site is within a single family ownership it is deliverable in the short term.
The nature of Ickleton and its existing housing stock suggests it is an area of high housing demand. It is an attractive village close to key transport routes and to local employment.

Whilst there is an existing field access, this could be relocated closer to the village subject to more detailed assessment. Subject to investigation, there may need to be an improved and relocated access.

There is no recent planning history for the site, however, adjoining land to the south and west have both been recently subject to planning permissions as detailed below: Land immediately to the south: •Outline permission approved for up to 55 dwellings houses approved 1st September 2017 (ref: S/1963/15/OL); and •Reserved Matters application for 55 dwellings was submitted 28th June 2018 (ref: S/2487/18/RM). Land immediately to the west: •S/3405/17/OL: Outline planning permission granted for up to 42 dwellings on the 14th March 2018.

Erection of 120 dwellings (approx.) to include an appropriate provision of affordable housing, associated access, public open space and landscaping
The benefits of the proposed development are wide-ranging and will promote the social, economic and environmental objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. The site is located in a highly sustainable location, adjacent to existing services and facilities and will seek to promote the delivery of housing and continued economic growth in the region. In particular, development of the site will: Deliver further family housing including affordable; Provide mixed house-types; Provide housing close to local employment, transport routes and planned sustainable transport corridors; and Provide potential for significant public open space.
At this initial stage we consider that the site has capacity for approximately 120 dwellings based on 30dph over 6.57ha @ 60% site coverage. The proposed density of development, 30dph, is in keeping with the surrounding character of both existing and proposed dwellings as well as with generous open space and appropriate landscaping 2025: minimum residential units 108 - maximum residential unit 132

Vehicular access to/from the site would be taken from Horseheath Road, via a new priority junction to the north of the site. The new access would logically be located at about a mid-point of the northern boundary on Horseheath Road. A public right of way also connects the site to Barlow Road for pedestrians to the south
There are no significant constraints at the site, which could prevent residential development being delivered.
There are no significant constraints at the site, which could prevent residential development being delivered. We have outlined other constraints which may need to be considered when developing the site. Biodiversity - The site is an arable field and in itself, does not appear to have any biodiversity value. This would be subject to an assessment as part of any planning application and any development at the site would have the potential to enhance biodiversity at and adjacent to the site. Contaminated land - The site comprises greenfield land, which is unlikely to be contaminated. Flood risk and drainage - The site is in Flood Zone 1, which is at the lowest risk of flooding (Appendix 3). As such, residential development is appropriate in this location. Any planning application would be accompanied by a Drainage Strategy which would outline how surface and foul water would be managed. Given the levels of the site it is envisaged that a surface water balancing pond may be needed in the north western corner of the site and this can form a part of a wider landscaped open space. Heritage - The site is not located adjacent to any heritage assets, including listed buildings or conservation areas, which could restrict the scope and extent of development at the site. Any development at the site may need to be accompanied by an archaeological assessment, but there is no reason to believe that this could limit or prevent development at the site.

The site is located adjacent to the existing development framework for Linton and it is considered that connections can be made to existing services – including electricity, gas, sewerage, telecommunications and water. The site is not crossed by pylons/telegraph poles and we do not believe that the site is crossed by a pipeline or similar.

Very good. Given the character and nature of the site, we do not consider that there would be any issues associated with viability or deliverability of the site.
