Residential development for approximately 42 dwellings, including affordable housing. The site could also include plots for self/custom-building housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Boxworth. South Cambridgeshire is a vanguard authority for self/custom-build housing. There are a significant number of people seeking self build plots, and that demand is not currently being met. There are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits.
The site could accommodate approximately 42 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement location and character of village and surrounding area.

There is an existing vehicular access to the site from School Lane. The current access will need to be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. There are listed buildings within the vicinity of the site: Parish Church of St Peter (Grade II*); Church Farmhouse (Grade II); and, 6 School Lane (Grade II). An assessment of the impact of development on the setting of these heritage assets will need to be undertaken.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Boxworth and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. In addition, there is a limited supply of development sites in Boxworth, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

Proposed residential development for approximately 400 dwellings including affordable housing, self/custom-build plots, and residential care home with associated infrastructure. The proposed development could include a primary school, local centre, community facilities, open space and other green infrastructure. A new vehicular access onto the A428 would be provided. It is anticipated that development at this site would come forward once the proposed A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvements have been delivered i.e. programmed to open in 2025/26.

Residential development for approximately 27 dwellings, including affordable housing. The site could also include plots for self/custom-building housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Elsworth. The Council's 'Housing Statistical Information Leaflet' (December 2018) indicates that there are 10 households with a local connection to Elsworth that have an affordable housing need. The site is located within the settlement boundary of Elsworth, where there are limited opportunities for infill development. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The open space would also be available for use by residents of the village. The site is currently private and not accessible to the public. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Elsworth including the primary school, community shop, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate approximately 27 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement location and character of village and surrounding area. The quantum of development may be lower once heritage and landscape/trees factors have been taken into account, and open space is provided on site.

The scheme as proposed is for an affordable housing led scheme affordable for 35 affordable homes (depending upon the final mix of dwellings) on their land at the end of More's Meadow, together with significant landscaping and open space provision and the relocation of the existing allotments. The allotments will can be accessed via The Hectare.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Great Shelford. Great Shelford is surrounded by the Green Belt, and there are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Great Shelford and nearby Trumpington, including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. The proposal is relatively low density and the proposed built form can be mitigated by extensive soft landscaping it is considered that these aspects would prevent unrestricted sprawl and prevent coalescence. The proposed development would not result in encroachment into the countryside as the new built form would be constructed near and seen against the backdrop of existing urban development and have a clear physical association with the existing built and engineered form towards and beyond the Site’s south east and northwest boundaries. The design concept is specifically designed to provide a bespoke design response to the site’s constraints ensuring that there is minimal intrusion on the visual amenity of the green belt. The landscape led masterplan aims create a series of interacting spaces: providing sustainable housing in a natural setting, enhancing opportunities for people to enjoy the landscape, and increasing biodiversity to achieve an overall ‘positive gain’ by respecting and enhancing the existing natural spaces. The railway forms a physical separation from the wider countryside with the noise of trains and an interruption to views. Nonetheless, from the centre of the Site there is an openness characteristic of the local landscape character with views towards arable fields and chalk hills nearby.
The site could accommodate approximately 35 dwellings. Based on the concept plan 25 dwellings are shown within a smaller site (currently subject to a pre-app). However, the site has the capacity for a greater number (35) based on 25 dph (a site area of 1.4 ha for the residential element.

The access is via Morse's Meadow and it can be demonstrated that a safe access can be provided for the proposed development.
Most of the site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. This is reflected in the layout plans, whereby the small area of the site that falls within Flood Zone 2 is identified for open space provision. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site has been undertaken by SLR, and there are no constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures within the landscape strategy. An archaeological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken. The site is not affected by any other heritage assets. There are no constraints to development to at the site. An assessment provided by SLR confirms that the habitats within the site are typical of an urban fringe agricultural land and is unlikely to be considered to be more than local biodiversity interest.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and uses and so connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development. The scheme will comprise affordable housing and could qualify as an exception site. However, for a further development the site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process before it will be available for development.
As a community-led housing project, the Trustees have also undertaken a Public Exhibition on the 20th June 2018. This revealed string support for the proposed development of affordable housing, with 67% in favour of schemes between 10 and 20 dwellings and 25% in favour of 21+. The Cambridgeshire Acre was commissioned to carry out a Housing Needs Survey in No 2016 by the Parish Council, with a survey completed in March 2017. The survey was carried out to support the emerging Great Shelford. A total of 97 households were identified as being in need of affordable housing who either live in, or have a local connection to, Great Shelford, comprising 58no. 1 bed, 27no. 2 bed, 11no. 3 bed and 1 no. 4 bed. The preferred mix and tenure will need to be agreed with Scambs. The Annual Monitoring Report refers to provision of 530 homes between 2017/18 and 2021/22, in relation to Trumpington Meadows of this total 232 will be affordable, and one of the criticism within the previous pre-app response was that these would meet local need. This will need to be addressed, but the scheme is a separate entity to Great Shelford, and also provides for the needs, at least in part, for Cambridge City.

The proposed development is for 9 dwellings with open space and landscaping, and improvements to the site access.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Impington. Impington is surrounded by the Green Belt, and there are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The woodland to the rear of the site would be retained as part of the proposed development. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Histon including convenience stores, public houses and bus services, and provide much needed affordable housing.
The site could accommodate approximately 9 dwellings which reflects the edge of settlement, the neighbouring woodland and other uses, and the current Green Belt location. This could include singe and one and a half storey dwellings to minimise the impact on the greenbelt.

There is an existing vehicular access to the site from Milton Road, via St George's Court. The site owner also owns nos. 1,5 and 7 St George's Court. No. 7 can be demolished if required to provide a means of access although it needs to be determined if this is necessary.
The application site is situated to the south east of the gardens of dwellings in St Georges Court, just off Milton Lane Impington. To the north east of the application site are the rear gardens of the dwellings of St Andrew's Way. A track along the south west boundary defines the physical limits of the site.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures.

The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development. The site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process, which has informed the assessment of when the site would actually be available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Impington and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. In addition, there is a limited supply of development sites in Histon, and the site is well related to Cambridge.
