Developed as paved/green area for informal parking and access to Anglian Water Pumping station - brownfield site.
The proposal comprises up to 5 self/custom-build/modular plots to be provided by the Council.
The proposed development would provide self/custom-build plots for new housing in Fen Ditton. The site may also be used for the installation of up to five modular units. SCDC is a Vanguard Authority for Self and Custom Build Housing. There are in excess of 480 applicants on the Council's Self-Build Register. The needs of these applicants are currently not being met by the limited number of plots available in the SCDC area. The associated landscaping will provide ecological benefits to the area. The proposal will support the existing services and facilities in Fen Ditton, including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. The Parish Council and local Members are concerned with alleged drug dealing on the site and other anti-social behaviours and have suggested the vacant plot should be used to provide housing.
The site could provide up to five Modular units with a GIA of between 70 and 100 sq.metres. Alternatively, the site will also prove suitable for up to three self-build plots.

The existing access is used by large 'tanker' vehicles in order to service the adjacent Anglian Water pumping station. Due to the size and layout of the existing access, improvements will not be necessary. Please see attached plan.

Anglian Water sewers pass through the site. However, these will easily be avoided through the strategic location of proposed buildings.
The plot is in ownership of SCDC.
There have been requests from the Parish Council and the local Member to develop the site for housing. The demand for parking is minimal as most residents have created parking bays to the front of the properties and the Parish claims the site is being used for drug dealing and anti-social behaviour. The site is located close to important employment centres in nearby Cambridge (e.g Marshalls) and will offer suitable accommodation for people who wish to cycle or walk to work.
