The site also incorporates a large parcel of land which has a frontage to Hinton Way, through which any vehicular access would be sought to serve development on the site
There are no ecological designations or heritage assets within the site, however, there are two Grade II Listed cottages directly west of the site fronting Granham’s Road. The site lies entirely within Flood Zone 1; the least risk of flooding and where development should be directed. There is no known contamination at the site.
Whilst there are no key utilities at the site, these can be connected at a later stage.
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. Great Shelford is identified in the recently adopted South Cambridgeshire Local Plan (2018) as a Rural Centre, which is the highest tier of the settlement hierarchy. There are a range of services and facilities within walking and cycling distance of the site including the post office, primary school, village shops and employment opportunities. Furthermore, Shelford Railway Station lies just under 1km from the western boundary of the site. Regular train services run to Cambridge and London from the Station daily offering further employment opportunities and the facilities and services found in Cambridge. There are bus stops within Great Shelford, along High Green, which provide a regular bus service into Great Shelford and Cambridge. The site therefore provides a sustainable location where policy compliant affordable housing can be met.
The site lies within the Green Belt and a section of the site fronting Granham’s Road is allocated as Open Space under policy SC/1: Allocation for Open Space (2:e) and is subject to a Countryside Enhancement 3 Strategy within the Adopted Local Plan 2018 which cross references to Policy CSF/5 within the Southern Fringe Area Action Plan.

The site is bounded to the east by the open frontage onto High Street.
No answer given
The site lies within the Green Belt and adjacent to the settlement framework. The eastern boundary of the site at the High Street is designated as ‘Important Countryside Frontage’. A section of the western side of the site lies within Flood Zone 2 and 3 with the eastern section of the site lying within Flood Zone 1. Any development proposals coming forward would look to alleviate any of the potential flooding issues at the site. The provision for public open space on the site would be located within the Flood Zone 3 section of the site to the west. Whilst the residential development proposals would be focussed within the section of the site which falls into Flood Zone 1; where residential development should be directed. There are no heritage assets within the site, however, there are two Grade II Listed Buildings within proximity of the site, 3 although there is existing residential development between the assets and the site. There are no ecological designations on or in proximity to the site. There is no known contamination at the site.

Access permitted under S/0460/17/FL See enclosed site plan for consent granted
Site falls within Conservation Area designation but that should not prevent development coming forward in this location - see representation With planning permission having been granted for that part of the Conservation Area in the above application, the settlement boundary should be extended to include the promoted site. We consider this to be a logical 3 extension to permission granted. The land is well defined by well treed boundaries and the scale and nature of proposed development as shown in the accompanying plan is entirely appropriate in our view having regard to the minimal impact on the surrounding area given the substantial landscaping that exists on the field boundaries and which is planned to be retained as part of any new housing scheme
Provision can be made to link up with existing utilities given existing and proposed new development granted planning permission immediately to the north.

The site has been reviewed from a highways network perspective and the Hopkins Homes’ proposal would create a safe adopted highway access through to Long Road. The site has good access to the strategic road network with both the M11 and A428 within 3km. The Site fronts a Byway Open to All Traffic along the eastern boundary (Byway No.7 Comberton); such a highway, whilst being unmade, provides legal right of access for all modes of transport in the same vein as a fully maintained highway, but is lacking in full physical infrastructure. It is proposed to gain access from the existing Byway which will be upgraded to create an estate road to meet the required standards of the County Council as Highway Authority. The first 104m of the Byway has been made up to form a standard estate road with a single footway, street lighting/ drainage associated with the development 'Thornbury'; a further unmade length of byway (approximately 86m) exists between the metalled carriageway and the site northern boundary. For the avoidance of doubt, the entirety of this road is part of the site submission proposal. As the entire approach road forms part of the public highway, there is no legal impediment to creating an extension and upgrading of the metalled carriageway, footway, street lighting and drainage for the intervening currently unmade length of byway. Thus, the Site will properly cater for pedestrians/ cyclists and vehicular traffic associated with the potential development in an entirely safe and conventional manner i.e. 5.0 - 5.5m carriageway and 1.8m footway Refer to attached plans and Supplementary Statement.

The Site is in EA Zone 1 and has been assessed for contamination etc. There are no technical impediments to its allocation for development.
No answer given
The site has been assessed for utilities and these are available.
The site is under option to Hopkins Homes Ltd which is currently delivering approximately 800 homes per annum throughout East Anglia. The company is building on all its sites where planning permission has been granted. This means that the delay to the delivery of development is the planning process. The Company would commence the development promptly upon the grant of planning permission.

The site is bound to the west by Cockerton Road where there is existing residential development from where the access would be sought.
The majority of the site lies within a chalk, sand and gravel Mineral Safeguarding Area. The site is not subject to any other policy, ecological or landscape designations. The site lies entirely within Flood Zone 1; the least risk of flooding and where development should be directed. There are no heritage assets on the site, however, Grade I Listed St Andrew’s Church and Grade II Listed ’21 and 23 Cambridge Road’ lies to the south of the 3 site. There is no known contamination at the site.
Whilst key utilities are not present at the site, these can be secured at a later stage.
Girton is identified in the adopted Cambridge Local Plan (2018) as a Minor Rural Centre where residential schemes of up to 30 dwellings will be Permitted. 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.
