Application ref. S/0096/17/OL The site has previously been the subject of a planning application and appeal for up to 95 dwellings. The appeal was dismissed as the inspector found that the environmental harm that would arise from the proposal due to landscape harm would be contrary to the development plan. However, Gladman does not consider that this conclusion precludes the site from any form of residential development and wishes to promote the site for a smaller, ribbon style development that would run parallel with Back Road and would therefore have a substantially lower landscape impact.

Residential development with public open space, landscaping and sustainable drainage system.
Gladman would be willing to make CIL compliant contributions towards improvements to local infrastructure. The development could provide: market housing; affordable housing; construction employment; increased household expenditure in the local area, supporting local services and facilities; publicly accessible formal and informal open space; enhancements to biodiversity through new planting and delivery of green infrastructure.

Access can be achieved off Back Road.
Gladman accepted through the previous application and appeal that the proposed development of up to 95 dwellings would cause some harm to the protected roadside verge where it crosses the road edge, as a small section of the verge (less than 10m2) would need to be removed to accommodate access to the site. However, as noted in the appeal decision, the protected verge is not in good condition at this location and the Council agree that the loss of this part of the verge would be unlikely to result in major degradation of the protected roadside verge overall and that any habitat loss could be adequately compensated for by the proposed creation of new grassland nearby. In conclusion, the appeal inspector considered that the proposed development would significantly enhance biodiversity. The site has previously been the subject of a planning application and appeal for up to 95 dwellings. The appeal was dismissed as the inspector found that the environmental harm that would arise from the proposal due to landscape harm would be contrary to the development plan. However, Gladman does not consider that this conclusion precludes the site from any form of residential development and wishes to promote the site for a smaller, ribbon-style development that would run parallel with Back Road and would therefore have a substantially lower landscape impact.
Through the previous planning application, Anglian Water confirmed that foul drainage from this development is in catchment of Linton WRC that will have available capacity for these flows and that the sewerage system at present has available capacity for foul flows. A Utilities Statement submitted with the previous planning application has not highlighted any concerns with servicing the proposed development with new gas, water, electric or telecommunication connections.
There is a signed contract, in the form of a promotion agreement, between Gladman and the landowners to promote the land for residential development. The land could released as soon as planning permission is granted.
Based on our experience in the Cambridgeshire area, we would anticipate strong interest from housebuilders in this area. Gladman has well-established connections with both national and regional housebuilders.

It has been demonstrated through planning application ref. S/2650/17/OL that access could be achieved off Balsham Road. The highways team at Cambridgeshire County Council has not raised any concerns with the proposed vehicular access and confirmed through pre-application discussions that the design for a simple T junction would be acceptable in principle. Attached email correspondence between CCC Highways and Iceni (May/June 2017). Attached Proposed Site Access Plan (ref. 17-T041-0 Rev. A).
The second of the reasons for refusal of the previous planning application (ref S/2650/17/OL) concerned insufficient information in respect of archaeology. The Historic Environment Team at Cambridgeshire County Council had recommended a geophysical survey be undertaken. Such a survey has been undertaken. Attached Archaeological Geophysical Survey.
Through the previous planning application, Anglian Water confirmed that foul drainage from this development is in catchment of Linton WRC that will have available capacity for these flows and that the sewerage system at present has available capacity for foul flows. A Utilities Statement submitted with the previous planning application has not highlighted any concerns with servicing the proposed development with new gas, water, electric or telecommunication connections. Attached consultee response from Anglian Water. The information below has been extracted from the concluding section of the applicants attached Utilities Statement. Initial investigations have not highlighted any concerns or engineering difficulties with servicing the proposed development with new gas, water, electric or telecommunication connections. New infrastructure and service connection costs are anticipated to be in line with those expected for a standard development of this scale. It should be noted that all Utility Providers have a licence obligation to ensure that any connections to the system comply with all relevant regulations, legislation and Engineering Recommendations so therefore do not have an adverse effect to the supply and quantity of supply to existing customers.

4.1.1 It is important that the long-term impacts are considered when reviewing proposals for biodiversity net gain taking into account that many of the measures provided as part of developments will need to mature beyond the build period. 4.1.2 Gladman also take the opportunity to note that if off-site mitigation provides the best opportunity for biodiversity gain, then the policy should be flexible enough to allow for this and it should not be ruled out from the planning application process. 4.1.3 These considerations should be taken into account when drafting a policy with regards to achieving biodiversity net gain.

5.1.1 With regards to conservation and the historic environment, Gladman make refence to the NPPF (2019), specifically paragraphs 195-197, which outlines the policy tests which should be applied where development effects designated and non-designated heritage assets. The Councils need to ensure that the policies within the Local Plan reflect the national policy and aligns with these varying tests. 5.1.2 Specifically the NPPF states that developments leading to substantial harm of a designated heritage asset should be refused unless it is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh the harm, where proposals would lead to less than substantial harm then this harm should be weighed against the public benefits. With regards to proposals impacting on non-designated heritage assets a balanced judgment will be required.
