Industrial use and agricultural land
N/A
Planning permission was granted for expansion of the existing industrial site in 2000 and this has now lapsed (Ref: s/1264/99F). That permission included extension of the existing premises and a large car park/yard, including the necessary HGV circulation space, which extended into the open agricultural land to the north of the existing buildings. The 2000 permission was renewed in 2005.
Mix of developed land and grass fields.
Industrial use of whole site: B1/B2 uses.
Local jobs, in medium tech sector, close to an expanded Cottenham given the level of future growth the village will see. In addition, some small scale employment uses are or will be displaced by residential development and these occupiers could relocate to Beach Road to retain local employment.
The undeveloped part of the site amounts to some 2.8ha. In theory this area could potentially accommodate some 12,000 sqm of further business use development assuming single storey industrial development.

There are two existing access points onto Beach Road from the land in question. If the whole site were to be developed for B uses (in addition to the existing developed area) then it is likely that a new improved access would be required. It is understood that the permission granted in the past involved such an access at the western end of the site and hence has already been endorsed (albeit in 2000, renewed in 2005 ) by the Highway Authority under Permission s/1264/99F and again under s/0694/05F.
Services available within Beach Road. The site is not affected by any key utility such a pipeline or pylons. There is a is a low level voltage electricity line crossing the site and this can easily be diverted or placed underground.
The main area of the proposed land is available now, it is relatively unconstrained and it is in single ownership. In addition, the District Council has previously granted planning permission for a new access, extension of the existing industrial buildings and a car park/yard extending into the adjacent agricultural land.
The current main occupier (Dataracks) wishes to expand on site via additional buildings and, in addition, there is ample land available to accommodate other similar uses. It is a quiet, attractive location and relatively easy to access in traffic terms. The site is easily accessible from Cottenham.
No
The past planning permissions (s/1264/99F and s/0694/05F) were not implemented due to changing economic circumstances at that time (2005) and the company focussing on its core business. Those circumstances are now different and the growth scenario is very much back on the agenda.
