Access via Barleyfields. See Site Location Plan and indicative Masterplan. Widening of Barleyfields to improve visibility for vehicular access, and provide good pedestrian and cycle access into Fulbourn and City Centre.
The land is relatively flat although there is a shallow slope south to north.
The site is not within an EA Flood Zone. There is no evidence of previous industrial/commercial use that would suggest the site is contaminated. There are no heritage assets within the site or in close proximity to the site. The Green Belt boundary will need to be amended to accommodate the site allocation. Compensatory measures can be demonstrated to justify amending the Green Belt boundary. Preliminary phase 1 assessments will be carried out to understand the site conditions and habitat content.
The site is flanked on three sides by housing which have access to key utilities. Therefore, it would be acceptable to assume the site will have access to key utilities and provision/created for to enable the development. Infrastructure and utility connections will be made to ensure the proposed development is facilitated accordingly.
The site is available and could deliver housing either as a housing allocation in the new local plan or through a planning application which would make a significant contribution towards housing, education and care provision in this part of the District.
The east of Cambridge has taken relatively little housing growth in the past 20 years, which is at odds with employment levels which have grown in the area. Housing here would help to rebalance the distribution of housing and employment uses. Fulbourn remains relatively affordable given the Cambridge villages have avoided the rapid price inflation seen in central Cambridge. It’s location and proximity to Cambridge city, which lends itself to a transport strategy using buses and cycling, is desirable.

As part of the development, a new vehicular access point to the site via a junction with Fowlmere Road on the eastern side of the site would be provided. A secondary cycle and pedestrian access on the western side would be provided to link the site to the existing footpath on Cambridge Road. As part of the previous planning application at the site, a transport assessment was prepared. An addendum to this will be prepared as part of any subsequent planning application at the site.
There are no slopes or significant changes in ground levels.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 and is therefore at a low risk of flooding. An ecological impact assessment was prepared to accompany the previous planning application at the site and includes a series of recommendations for species at the site. The community open space proposed will provide suitable mitigation to accommodate a diverse range of biodiversity on the site. The trees (some of which have TPOs) would be retained adding to the biodiversity of the site.
The site is not crossed or adjacent to any key utilities. The site is located with access to a range of facilities within the village of Fowlmere. The applicant would be happy to provide additional information if it is required.
The site is of a modest size and has already been subject to a planning application, the site will not require any significant infrastructure development and therefore could come forward at the earliest opportunity.

An existing access is provided via Cambridge Road (A603), however this is overgrown and represents more of a gateway. Improvements would be required to ensure the development could be accessed appropriately from the highway by way of a T Junction with the correct visibility splays to ensure safety. This is location to the north west of the site. An access appraisal has been carried out in regard to the site and has found that access from the A603 is preferred however this involves a third party landowner and wider highway improvements are required.
The site is generally level.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1. A preliminary ecological assessment has identified that the site is likely to support small numbers of breeding birds. Trees have been identified as having moderate bat roost suitability and the site may be used by commuting and foraging bats. There is no evidence to suggest any environmental constraints would preclude development taking place on this site. Additional ecological surveys need to be carried out at the site to determine the presence of species and inform relevant mitigation methods.
The site does not have gas services at present but does have a water main to the north but this does not provide for the prospective development land. A foul water main is also present within nearby Hillside Road but is not indicated within the site on any record drawings. A high voltage electricity line crosses the site to the north corner and high voltage cables cross the site from the north western side running north east. Some additional surveys will be required to determine the presence of any additional utilities at the site.
Providing suitable access is provided to the site it could become available in the next 5 years for development.
There is considerable market attractiveness in the site given it's size and location.
No - there are no legal or land ownership constraints that might prohibit or delay development.
