It is proposed that the site will accommodate residential development (Circa 400 units), including market and affordable dwellings with other appropriate ancillary uses.
The proposed development will provide: Market and affordable housing to meet the demand of the local area; Public open space; Green infrastructure; Financial contributions to infrastructure, where necessary and viable.
It is anticipated that the proposed development will accommodate approximately 400 dwellings. This is based on: a developable area of circa. 19 hectares; an approximate density of between 25-30 dph; and the provision of an appropriate landscaped buffer along the site’s southern boundary. However, this will be refined as the proposals for the scheme become informed by a robust evidence base.
Details to follow.

Access achievable onto Cambridge Road to the northwest. Precise details of access arrangements to be informed by further surveys.
The site benefits from relatively flat relief.
The site is not constrained by flood risk, drainage, contamination, biodiversity or heritage. It is noted that RSPB Fowlmere is located to the south east of the site, and it is considered that any perceived impact can be mitigated by the provision of a landscaped buffer within the southern part of the site. This has been factored into the site’s overall capacity to accommodate 400 units. The site lies entirely within Flood Zone 1, a future scheme is likely to include Sustainable Drainage Systems.
Details to follow.
Any future application will be supplemented by a utilities report, demonstrating that the proposed development will have access to key utilities. Whilst there are existing electrical lines across the site, these do not represent a constraint to development, and will be considered as part of a future scheme.
Wates Developments are in advanced discussions with the landowner.
The site offers an opportunity to accommodate comprehensive development to meet the affordable and market housing demand within Melbourn. The site is in a sustainable location, which benefits from pedestrian linkages to facilities and services within Melbourn. In addition, the site lies in proximity to Meldreth train station, which provides connectivity to Cambridge City to the north.
