The proposed development is for residential development including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping, and a new site access. The site could also be suitable for self build/ custom-build housing, either in part or in full. The quantum of development at the site will be informed by the outcome of detailed site assessments, including the impact on Green Belt purposes and landscape. The site could accommodate 30 dwellings at a density of 30 dwellings/hectare
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for HAUXTON. HAUXTON 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 landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in HAUXTON (AND HARSTON) including the PRIMARY SCHOOL, SHOPS, BUS SERVICES.
The site could accommodate 30 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare. However, the quantum of development at the site will be informed by the outcome of detailed site assessments including the impact on Green Belt purposes and landscape, and taking into account the character of the surrounding area.

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 in a Flood Zone 1 area
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring buildings and uses and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development. However, 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.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, especially given other sites in the villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. There is market demand for self/custom-build plots in South Cambridgeshire.

The vehicular access to the site would be through the existing Buckingway Business Park, via Anderson Road. A connection would need to be made with Anderson Road. Site Access: This is achievable via the existing agricultural access from Anderson Road to the north of the site, as well as to the privately maintained Anderson Road immediately west of the site. It is requested that this be changed to “Amber”.
No answer given
There are no listed buildings or conservation areas within close proximity of the site. The listed buildings in the wider area are unlikely to be affected by 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 trees and hedgerows on the eastern site boundary. It is anticipated that the existing trees and hedgerows would be retained, and the proposed development would include additional landscape planting at the site boundary and within the site.

The proposed development could comprise circa 40 dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping. The proposed development could include plots for self-build/custom-build housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Eltisley. Eltisley is a settlement which comprises designated heritage assets including listed buildings and a conservation area. Large parts of the village are indeed included within the designated conservation area. Scheduled Ancient Monuments are located to the east and south east. The village is also centred on a large central green which is protected by virtue of being designated as "Local Green Space". There are as a result limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing has 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 also provide support to the existing services in the village including the Public House, school, nursery and bus service.
The site is predicted to be capable of delivering circa 40 dwellings. This is based on the assumption that development could be provided at a density of circa 25-30 dwellings per hectare (given the edge of settlement location).

The site is currently accessed through the existing access that serves the adjacent dwellings. While this access may be able to be utilised to serve a quantum of new development, a new access may need to be created into the site to the west of the existing dwellings and beyond the important countryside frontage. Sufficient land is available to enable a new access to be provided if needed. Appropriate highway analysis will need to be undertaken to inform the access design and layout.
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 that do exist 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 at the site.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area so connections will be possible.

Proposed development of up to 50 dwellings, including affordable dwellings, and a community park to provide recreation and leisure facilities.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Histon and Impington. Histon and 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 villages in recent years. The proposed development would include a significant community park to address an existing deficit that there is in open space within the villages. Landscaping would be provided as part of the proposals, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Histon and Impington including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate up to 50 dwellings which reflects its edge of settlement location and the density of existing residential development to the south. This also allows for the provision of a significant community park.

There is an existing agricultural access to the site off Milton Road. As part of the development proposals for the site the creation of two new accesses off Milton Road are proposed, one to serve the proposed residential development and one to serve the proposed community park. The location and design of these accesses have been worked up in detail by a highways consultant who have confirmed that safe and suitable access to the site is achievable. The proposals would also include for offsite highway works to improve pedestrian and cyclist accessibility to the site.
The site is located in 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 and foul water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site has been undertaken and the southern and eastern site boundaries were confirmed to be of some value as foraging and commuting habitat for bats. Accordingly, these features will be retained as part of the proposals for the site. A number of ecological enhancement measures will also be incorporated into the proposals. The site is not affected by any heritage assets. Overall there are no constraints to development.
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 developer who has prepared a planning application for the proposed development that will be submitted to the Council imminently.

The site comprises a Broad Location that might accommodate residential development as growth of Papworth Everard and / or Elsworth. Land north-east of the A1198/A428 junction provides an opportunity for development at a key node in the A428 corridor which might accommodate employment provision (B1/B2/B8), e.g. strategic scale warehousing & logistics, enhanced motorists roadside provision (including hotel accommodation).
The site is promoted as an opportunity for development at a key node in the A428 corridor which might accommodate employment provision B1, B2 & B8 (e.g. strategic scale warehousing & logistics) & enhanced motorists roadside provision (including hotel accommodation). The site’s suitability for these uses is a reflection of a number of factors, including the Government’s decision to deliver transformational infrastructure projects to improve east-west connectivity across the Cambridge – Milton Keynes – Oxford Arc, most notably by completing the East West Rail scheme and the Expressway. The site is located adjacent to the proposed grade separated junction of the A428 / A1198 at Caxton Gibbet which will be created as part of the proposed Expressway dualling of the A428. The site is also located in a transport corridor that has and continues to be the focus of significant housing growth, including the extension of Cambourne & Bourne Airfield, but which in themselves are not providing land for a significant level of new employment provision. The site will be well suited to strategic scale logistics development, new opportunities for which are very limited in the A421/A428/A14 corridor between Bedford and Bury St Edmunds; and to meet demand for general industrial and commercial land to serve the highly constrained Cambridge market, or which are ‘forced out’ from the City by competing higher value uses and commercial developments. The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Independent Economic Review in discussing ‘Logistics & Distribution’ notes in part that this sector is likely to both grow and change in future as new methods of transport and distribution become available. The enhanced connectedness of this part of the region to the UK transport network means that the site will be eminently suitable for strategic scale logistics development. The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Local Industrial Strategy 2019 recognises supporting sectors, which are also strengths of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy, including logistics. The site provides an opportunity to create business growth in this sector.
Further work undertaken since the ‘call for sites’ submission has refined the broad location to the site identified on the accompanying drawings. This has a gross area of 168 Ha and capacity work suggests that this will provide for a net developable area of up to 89 Ha. Subject to planning, the site could be opened for development in tandem with completion of the A428 dualling. The site lends itself to delivery over three phases and would be market led.

The site is the subject of a number of historic planning applications for mobile homes although these are not considered to be of particular relevance to the current proposals for the site. It should also be noted that the adjacent land to the west of the site was granted outline planning permission for the development of up to 199 dwellings plus a care home of up to 75 beds, new vehicular and pedestrian accesses from New Road, public open space and a landscape buffer at appeal in August 2016 (SCDC reference S/2791/14/OL / PINs reference APP/W0530/W/15/3131724). This scheme is now under construction further to reserved matters applications being approved.
The site is approximately two thirds greenfield and one third previously developed land.
Proposed residential development of approximately 114 dwellings including affordable housing, with open space and landscaping. The proposed development could include plots for self-build/custom-build housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Melbourn. 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 Melbourn including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate approximately 114 dwellings, based on a density of 30 dwellings per hectare and this reflects the site's edge of settlement location and neighbouring development to the north. It should also be noted that the density of development of the site to the west which is currently being constructed is 35 dwellings per hectare (excluding the care home element).

A full application for planning permission for the proposed development of 16 dwellings including affordable dwellings, a school car park and drop off area, ecological mitigation area and new allotments, with associated alterations to highway and pedestrian access, was refused by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) on 22 June 2018 under reference S/4550/17/FL. This refusal has been appealed and is currently being considered by the Planning Inspectorate under reference APP/W0530/W/18/3209758. This application was made at a time when the Council was unable to demonstrate a five year housing land supply. This position altered just before the determination of the application and the single reason for refusal therefore related to the application site's location outside of the village framework in proximity to a group village. The application was not refused for any technical reasons.
Greenfield, including allotments.
Erection of 16 dwellings including affordable dwellings, a school car park and drop off area, ecological mitigation area and new allotments, with associated alterations to highway and pedestrian access.
The proposals include for the delivery of six affordable dwellings, a school car park and drop off area, ecological mitigation area and new allotments. It was demonstrated through application reference S/4550/17/FL that there are no technical objections to the proposals. The proposals will meet the three objective of sustainability and deliver the following benefits: Economic: - The proposals would result in the creation of construction jobs and have positive economic impacts throughout the supply chain during the construction phase. - Future residents would support the existing services and facilities within Elsworth, including existing sports facilities and the community shop. Social: - The proposals would provide six affordable dwellings. - The site is accessible to services and facilities within Elsworth by walking and cycling including the pre-school, primary school, village convenience community shop and sports/recreation facilities. - New residents would support existing services, facilities and community groups. - The proposals include for the relocation and enhancement of existing allotments which is a significant benefit of the scheme for the wider community. The proposed allotments include improved vehicular and pedestrian access and a water supply which the existing provision does not include for. - The proposals include provision for a designated parking and drop off zone for the school, lessening traffic problems on Broad End. Environmental: - The proposals would include energy efficient building fabric, water conservation measures, and renewable energy technology. - The are no environmental constraints to the development of the site as confirmed through the consideration of application reference S/4550/17/FL. - The proposals would deliver ecological and landscape enhancements.
The site could accommodate 16 dwellings which has been confirmed by a full technical design process which statutory consultees have raised no objections to. The density of development proposed is 7 dwellings per hectare. At page 9 the Officer's Report associated with application reference S/4550/17/FL confirms: "In view of the edge of village location a lower density scheme in this case is considered to preserve the character of the surrounding locality and therefore would be considered in this instance to be an efficient use of the land in accordance with Policy HG/3."

Access to the site would be gained via Broad End. This access has been confirmed as acceptable by the local highways authority. See Transport Statement prepared by SLR submitted in support of application reference S/4550/17/FL.
The consideration of application reference S/4550/17/FL confirmed that there were no technical objections to the development of the site in terms of flood risk, drainage, contamination, biodiversity, heritage or other constraints to the development of the site. See technical documents and consultation responses associated with application reference S/4550/17/FL.
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 developer and is available for development now with all necessary technical work to ensure that development is deliverable.

The proposed development is for approximately 250 dwellings including affordable dwellings, plots for self build/ custom-build housing, a residential care home, with open space and landscaping, and a new vehicular access. The proposed development could include other community facilities and services subject to local need and demand.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Fulbourn. Fulbourn 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 has 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 Fulbourn including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate approximately 250 dwellings. The site is likely to accommodate a significant amount of new green infrastructure and strategic landscaping, and as such only part of the site would accommodate built development. The quantum of development reflects the character of the site and surroundings and its current location in the Green Belt. Further design work will be required to confirm the quantum of development at the site.

There are existing vehicular accesses and a public bridleway (Hind Loders) to the agricultural fields from Balsham Road and Stonebridge Lane. A new vehicular access off Balsham Road would be provided for 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. It is likely that the proposed development will also include additional access points for pedestrians and cyclists to the wider road, bridleway and footpath network.
The majority of the site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The southern part of the site adjacent to the drainage ditch at the field boundary is within Flood Zone 3, which has a high risk of flooding. The built development would only be located within Flood Zone 1. In addition, 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. An arboricultural assessment and tree survey will need to be undertaken for the site. It should be possible for most of the hedgerows and trees at the site boundary to be retained within the proposed development, and a landscape strategy will be prepared to provide additional planting at the site. There are a number of Grade II listed buildings on Stonebridge Lane. There is sufficient land within the site so that development can be directed to other parts of the site so that the setting of these heritage assets is protected.
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 Fulbourn 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 Fulbourn, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

There is an established access to the site directly off Home End. There is a vehicular access adjacent to the site, which provides access to the recreation areas to the rear. A new access would be provided for 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.

It should be possible for most of the hedgerows and trees at the site boundary to be retained within the proposed development, and a landscape strategy will be prepared to provide additional planting at the site. The site is located within Fulbourn Conservation Area. The Fulbourn Conservation Area Appraisal was adopted in 2008. The outcome of the consultation exercise that informed the content of the Appraisal is not stated, and it is not clear whether there were objections to the content or whether those objections were resolved. Townley Memorial Hall – to the north of the site - is identified as a ‘positive building’ and ‘focal building’ in the Appraisal, although these terms are not defined in the document. The Hall is not a listed building and therefore does not have any particular protected status in itself, other than it is an existing building within the Conservation Area. There is no functional relationship between the use of the Hall and the site. The site is identified as a ‘positive open space’ in the Appraisal, although again this term is not defined in the Appraisal and it is not clear why it is specifically designated. As set out above, the site is an unused paddock and grass field, and is not open space. It is not available to the public or local community. It is considered that the contribution that the site makes to the Conservation Area is overstated. A well-designed scheme could be delivered at the site that protects and enhances the character of the Conservation Area in this location. The land off Home End is surrounded by buildings and a car park, and is not an important countryside frontage. The site is a typical paddock – which is no longer used – surrounded by a hedge and post and rail fence enclosing a grass field. It does not provide a ‘significant’ connection between the street scene and surrounding rural area, the development framework boundary is not detached in this location, and in any event there are sport and recreation facilities and associated car parking areas between the site and the countryside beyond. It is considered that the Important Countryside Frontage designation at the site is not justified in this location.
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.
