The site could be suitable for a number of alternative uses included, offices, hotel, residential, care, student accommodation, specialist housing, retail, visitor attractions and open space, or a mix of some of these uses.
Regeneration of the area and enhancements to the Conservation Area. Increased public access to the area and improvements to the future management of the heritage assets.
The total gross internal floor area for the site is in approximately 11,200 sqm. There is potential for extension of the buildings and/or some new build. Depending on the mix of uses, it could deliver a significant number of residential units or equivalent commercial floor space.

There are two existing vehicular access points into the site from Castle Street.
There will be the need for archaeological investigations in relation to any new build elements. Part of the site is currently allocated as protected open space. It is not within a Flood Zone and there is not evidence of previous uses that would have caused contamination of the site. The site is within a Conservation Area and there are two listed buildings and a building of local interest on the site. The Council will need to consider amending the open space designation.
The site has access to key utilities. There are no known infrastructure capacity issues. A utilities assessment will be carried out.
The site is in freehold ownership and could be developed within the next 5 years or less.
Enquiries have been received and are being followed up. The marketing has demonstrated strong market demand for a variety of reuse/development proposals for the site.

Proposed residential development of up to 5 dwellings including car parking and landscaping.
Provide additional housing for local people which would avoid them having to leave the settlement due to lack of housing. The proposal would also support local services. The site is also surrounded by housing on two sites (side and front) and so is not in an isolated location.
Up to 5 - in order to make efficient and effective use of the site.

The site is accessible from High Street via an existing track. Access spurs off the track will be created to provide access to the dwellings. Access over the existing culvert could be created if required to service the dwellings.
The site is flat.
The site is not within a Flood Zone. The site is within an area of 'Medium' flood risk from surface water drainage. There is no evidence of any previous use which would suggest the site has been contaminated. There are no listed buildings within close proximity to the site and the site is not within a designated wildlife site. Preliminary assessments will be undertaken to determine the condition of the site in terms of contamination, ecology and drainage but there are no significant issues.
The site is located adjacent to existing houses which have access to key utilities. There is a telegraph pole and line that crosses the site which may need to be redirected.
The site is vacant scrubland located at end of a row and opposite existing housing. The site would therefore be an acceptable infill of available land that is not being used for any particularly purpose to delivery much needed housing.
The site is located adjacent to existing dwellings and would provide much needed housing for local people within a desirable location.

Access to the site can be achieved via Villa Road
The Council will need to amend the Green Belt boundary to accommodate the site allocation - see cover letter. (The Cover letter explains that 3 proposed development sites are located within the Greenbelt, promoting the need for a relaxation of the Green Belt boundary. The claim is supported by references to Paragraph 136 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and potential strategic advantages including public transport.) Flood mitigation and landscaping will be provided to mitigate impacts.
The site will have access to key utilities. The site is close to existing infrastructure. There are no known infrastructure capacity issues. A utilities assessment will be carried out.
The site is in freehold ownership and available. It could be developed within the next 5 years or less.
Enquiries have been received but not followed up. Comparable values in the area demonstrate strong market demand for sites. The attractiveness of being within the desirable villages of Hitson and Impington, its proximity to Cambridge and the potential connection with the guided bus.

Whilst no additional technical evidence has been undertaken to support access proposals, it is unlikely that the existing vehicular access will be able to accommodate the necessary improvements required for a more intensive use. As such we recommend a new access is proposed off Barley Road along the northern boundary.
The site displays a slight decrease in gradient from east to west, however in topography terms this is not detrimental to the deliverability of the site.
The site is located within Flood Risk Zone 1; all of the site apart from the small existing vehicular access located outside of the conservation area and the site does not fall within any landscape or ecological designations.
The site will have access to the following utilities: - Mains water supply - Mains sewerage - Electrical supply - Gas supply - Landline telephone / broadband
The site is currently leased out on a rolling one year contract however it is soon to be marketed for acquisition or option agreement with the intention to develop.
The site has the potential to deliver a high quality residential scheme that can contribute to local housing need helping to sustain rural vitality. Whilst the site is located outside (but adjacent) to the settlement boundary, the site relates strongly to the existing settlement with no ecological or landscape designations. Any concerns relating to the wider landscape and proximity to heritage assets will ne taken into consideration and mitigated through appropriate landscape strategy and buffer.

Size, layout and configuration capable of supporting a sustainable housing scheme of approximately 100 homes providing the ability to meet a range of housing needs, including 40% affordable homes on site.
The site is located entirely within Flood Risk Zone 1 (lowest risk). Some surface water risk does exist onsite; however, appropriate design and mitigation can be implemented to ensure appropriate run off and can be used to create green and blue infrastructure onsite. There are no listed buildings or conservation areas on site. The Longstanton Conservation Area is located to the south-east of the site largely covering a collection of listed buildings around the Church along St Michael’s Lane.

Access can be taken from Wilson’s Road, which will require some upgrading. There is sufficient land within the highway to be able to do this.
