Development of a care home and/or approximately 1,629 dwellings, including affordable houses and open space
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Whittlesford. It could also deliver a care home to meet local needs. Whittlesford 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 Whittlesford including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. We are aware that land adjacent is also being promoted.
The site could accommodate a care home and/or 1,629 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.

It is accessed from West End to the north via Parsonage Court, or alternatively from the A505 from the south.
It is not covered by any environmental or historic designations but it partly borders the Conservation Area to the north west. A proposed development could be sensitively designed to preserve the character of the Conservation Area.
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 Whittlesford 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 Whittlesford, and the site is well related to Cambridge.
