The proposed development comprises 7 self/custom-build plots - as identified on the attached site layout plan.
The proposed development would provide self/custom-build housing for Willingham. South Cambridgeshire District Council is a 'Vanguard Authority' for self and custom-build housing. It is understood that there are more than 200 households on the Council's Self Build Register, which represents a significant number of households whose needs are not being met by the limited number of plots that have been provided so far in South Cambridgeshire. The proposed development would include landscaping which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Willingham including the convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The identified plots within the site could accommodate 7 self/custom-build dwellings.

The existing vehicular access off Westfields would provide the access to the proposed self/custom-build plots. An access would be provided onto Westfields from each plot.
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 within the landscape strategy. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment of the plots will need to be undertaken because there are trees and hedgerows within the proposed development plots. It is anticipated that some trees and part of the hedge would need to be removed in order to create access. However, additional trees and hedges and other planting would be provided within the proposed development to replace those trees and hedges that are removed and to provide landscape enhancement measures. An archaeological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken. The site is not affected by any other heritage assets. There are no significant constraints to the delivery of the self/custom-build dwellings at the site.
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 it is both available and deliverable for development. The site will need to be allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan and the timetable for this has informed the assessment of when the site is available.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Willingham have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. There is significant demand for self//custom build plots in South Cambridgeshire.

Residential development (up to 100 units) including affordable housing (C3) OR retirement/care village (C2) and open space, landscaping and improved or new site access. Key aspects of proposed development: - A variety of house types including short terraces, linked dwellings, semi-detached and detached properties - New footpath between Hinton Way and Haverhill Road offered by way of planning gain (to create new circular walking route for village). - 0.5 hectares of public open space (an overprovision with reference to current policy) - Swale/landscape buffer along Hinton Way which is the lowest part of the site and likely location to connect to a public drain/piped system - Parking on-plot, in-court and in garages/drives - Connecting adjacent corners of field boundaries to limit incursion into the Green Belt - Relatively low density to avoid development appearing overly “cramped” next to established development on deep plots - Views to the countryside beyond
Provision of new market and affordable housing and/or retirement/care provision to meet local needs Further social benefit in the form of a new footpath between Hinton Way and Haverhill Road to create a new circular walking route for the village Economic benefits associated with construction of development Economic benefits associated with additional spending within local community from new households Environmental benefits (ecological/biodiversity) would be provided by: - carefully designed landscaping to enhance the site's green belt setting - new open space and landscaping

Site has existing wide agricultural access and 171m long highway frontage within which a new access could be formed. Existing access may be able to be improved to serve the development or a new access created.
Flood risk: site is located within Flood Zone 1 so is not at risk of flooding Drainage: proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage Landscape: no development proposals will be prepared for the site without a comprehensive baseline LVIA having been carried out first - baseline data will be used to inform the scheme design Ecology: site's arable agricultural use means site is likely to be of low ecological value - this will be confirmed via assessment and mitigation and enhancement measures will be implemented as part of any development Arboriculture: all trees and hedgerows on the site will be retained and protected Contamination: site is greenfield thus contamination is unlikely - absence of contamination will be confirmed through a phase 1 assessment Overall: no environmental constraints that can't be overcome
Water, electricity and sewerage are understood to be located within the adjacent highway Extra capacity/reinforcements may be required but are likely to be deliverable and viable should they be necessary A new gas connection may be required depending on energy approach/design for new dwellings - new connection likely to be deliverable and viable should it be necessary
Site is greenfield and can be taken out of agricultural use as and when necessary Landowner supports development of the site Site is under the control of Axis Land Partnerships, a promoter, who have the resources, expertise and capacity necessary to pursue a suitable planning permission upon allocation of the site
High Site likely to be attractive to the market because other sites in Stapleford and other villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders Limited supply of suitable development sites such as this in Stapleford and surrounds drives demand Site's proximity to and relationship with/accessibility to and from Cambridge are also demand drivers

An outline planning application for the development of up to 23 residential units, including affordable housing, public open space and associated access, infrastructure and landscaping with all matters reserved except access was considered by South Cambridgeshire District Council under reference S/4548/17/OL. The application was considered by Planning Committee in April 2018 with an Officer Recommendation for Approval. However, committee resolved to refuse the application for the following reasons: encroachment into the countryside and impact on the landscape; and reliance on the private car. There were no technical reasons for refusal. This refusal has been appealed and is being considered by the Planning Inspectorate under reference APP/W0530/W/18/3209699.

Proposed development of up to 23 residential units, including affordable housing, public open space and associated access, infrastructure and landscaping.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Cottenham. It appears that there are limited infill opportunities within the Development Framework boundary and recent and committed developments in Cottenham are located outside of the Development Framework boundary. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would also support existing services and facilities within Cottenham including convenience stores, public houses, schools and bus services.
The site could accommodate 23 dwellings which has been confirmed by a full technical design process which statutory consultees raised no objections to. The density of the proposed development is approximately 33 dwellings per hectare across the developable area of the site. The committee report associated with the previous application confirmed that this was acceptable given the sensitive location of the site on the edge of the village and the need to provide sufficient landscaping.

Access to the site would be gained via Oakington Road. A Transport Assessment prepared by RSK was submitted in support of application reference S/4548/17/OL. This confirmed that the location of the site benefits from a good level of accessibility to a range of everyday facilities within easy walking distance in Cottenham, including shops, schools and health facilities. There are also a range of sustainable transport options local to the site, including service buses through the village and a high quality busway to the south west. The traffic predicted to be generated by the development would be dispersed across the local highway network with a choice of routes to use. The junction capacity modelling has demonstrated that the impact of the proposed development will be negligible. This Transport Assessment and access to the site was confirmed as acceptable by the local highways authority. Proposed Mitigation: See Transport Assessment prepared by RSK submitted in support of Application reference S/4548/17/OL.
The site is within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flooding. A Flood Risk Assessment prepared by RSK was submitted with application reference S/4548/17/OL which confirmed that the development would not be at risk from flooding from existing sources and would not increase flood risk elsewhere. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal prepared by MKA Ecology was also submitted with the application. The site comprises semi-improved grassland, arable, scrub and scattered trees. The report includes a number of ecological enhancements that could be incorporated into future proposals for the site. The site is not located within the setting of any listed buildings or scheduled ancient monuments and is not within a designated conservation area. A Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment prepared by CSA Environmental was also submitted with the previous application. This assessment concludes that field boundaries are generally formed of hedgerows, with some hedgerow trees, which together with neighbouring tree belts contain the Site in views, particularly from the east. Views to the south, west and north are filtered by intervening vegetation and long distance views are limited by virtue of the relatively flat landscape and settlement which prevent views from beyond the immediate area. The proposals will be well related to the existing south-westwards settlement pattern on Oakington Road and that of the surrounding consented development. The majority of the existing higher quality landscape features on the Site, including trees within the Site boundaries, will be retained as part of the development proposals. Enhancement planting to the Site boundaries, particularly the substantial woodland belt along the north-western and south-western boundaries, will help to create a landscape framework within which the development can sit and a strong defensible boundary to the countryside beyond. The Site lies adjacent to and in close proximity to three consented schemes on the western edge of Cottenham. The proposals will be seen in the context of these schemes in the majority of views and together will form a redefined western edge to Cottenham. The consideration of application reference S/4548/17/OL confirmed that there were no technical objections to the development of the site. See Flood Risk Assessments, Preliminary Ecological Assessments and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment associated with application reference S/4548/17/OL
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 being promoted by a willing landowner and developer and is available for development now with all necessary technical work to ensure that development is deliverable.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Cottenham 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 Cottenham, and the site is well related to Cambridge.

The site was the subject of an outline application for planning permission with all matters reserved except for access for the erection of up to 50 dwellings (use class c3) and associated works, including access, car and cycle parking, open space and landscaping under application reference S/0012/18/OL. This application was refused in April 2018 for two reasons: encroachment into the open landscape setting of the village; and insufficient information submitted to demonstrate that traffic generation from the development would not be detrimental to the capacity and functioning of the public highway. This refusal was appealed and considered by the Planning Inspectorate under reference APP/W0530/W/18/3203109. The appeal was dismissed in December 2018. Through the course of the appeal it was confirmed that the highways authority raised no objection to the development subject to a mitigation package.

Access to the site would be gained via Beach Road. A Transport statement prepared by JPP Consulting. This confirmed that the site is well serve and accessible to more sustainable modes of transport. The proposed development has good accessibility to education, health, employment, retail and leisure facilities. The proposed development would be accessed off Beach Road via a simple priority junction. The development would provide an independent pedestrian and cycle access off Long Drove. A new uncontrolled crossing would be provided across Long Drove. It is considered unlikely that the number of new vehicle trips generated from the proposed development will result in a significant adverse impact on the surrounding highway infrastructure. It was confirmed through the course of the subsequent appeal that the local highways authority had no objections to the proposals.
The site falls within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flooding. A Flood Risk Assessment was submission with application reference S/0012/18/OL. No objections were raised on flood risk or drainage grounds. An Ecological Appraisal prepared by Aspect Ecology which confirms that the site is dominated by intensively managed arable land which is of negligible ecological value. The Appraisal also includes a number of enhancements which would result in net biodiversity gains across the site. The site is not located within the setting of any listed building or scheduled ancient monuments, and is not within a designated conservation area. A Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment prepared by Aspect Landscape Planning. This concludes that in terms of the effect of the proposals upon the receiving landscape character, it is acknowledged that there will be a degree of harm as a result of the proposals in terms of the effect upon the character of the site, as a result of the change from an arable field to a residential development. However, the site is located within a relatively flat landscape comprising scattered tree clumps, poplar shelterbelts and occasional established hedgerows that merge together and give a sense of densely treed horizon in long distance views towards the site. As such, the perceived change will be highly localised. In terms of the effect of the proposals upon the receiving visual environment, it is considered that views of the proposals will be highly localised to the immediate setting of the Beach Road and Long Drove street scenes to the west and north of the site. Additional landscaping is to be introduced along the northern and eastern boundaries to enhance these and provide additional enclosure to the site. It was therefore considered that the site and receiving environment have the capacity to accommodate the proposals and that it would not result in significant harm to the landscape character or visual environment. As such, it is considered that the proposed development can be integrated in this location and is supportable from a landscape and visual perspective.
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.
A developer is actively promoting the site for development confirming that it is attractive to the market.

Site has history of commercial use Application covering the current use of the site appears to be C/0007/68/D which permits use of the land as a builders’ store Condition 2 of permission C/0007/68/D states: “This permission shall relate only to the use of the land for storage and office premises in connection with the business of roofing and scaffolding specialists in Classes II and X of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order, 1963.” In the 1963 Order, Class II is defined as “use as an office for any purpose”, and Class X is defined as “use as a wholesale warehouse or repository for any purpose.” It is assumed that this broadly correlates with B1a (office) and B8 (storage) use classes in the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 Site therefore has planning permission for B1a and B8 use Both of these uses afford permitted change to residential use meaning that the use of much, if not all, of the site could be changed to residential use via prior approval Redevelopment would be preferable as it would be more sustainable and would provide greater benefits

The site already benefits from an access from Station Road. The access serves the existing builder's merchants yard, offices and dwelling on the site and is used by all vehicle types, including HGVs. An initial access appraisal has therefore indicated that the access would be able to serve the 19 dwellings proposed without any adverse highways impacts.
Flood risk: site is located within Flood Zone 1 so is not at risk of flooding Drainage: proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage Landscape: baseline LVIA indicates that the site could accommodate the proposed development without impacting on its greenbelt setting Ecology: preliminary assessment indicates no constraints to development and opportunities for enhancement Arboriculture: assessment indicates proposed development could be delivered without impacting existing trees Noise: proximity of railway line will mean noise attenuation measures are required but feasibility layout takes account of this and demonstrates that it is not a barrier to development Contamination: is risk given current and former use (railway goods yard) but type and extent, if any, are unlikely to impact on viability or deliverability Overall: no environmental constraints that can't be overcome
Site benefits from existing water, electricity, telecoms and sewerage connections Extra capacity/reinforcements may be required but are likely to be deliverable and viable should they be necessary A new gas connection may be required depending on energy approach/design for new dwellings - new connection likely to be deliverable and viable should it be necessary

The proposed development is for 15- 18 dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping, and improvements to the site access.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Impington. The development would also bring demonstrable social benefits in that it would be accompanied by a policy-compliant level of affordable housing. Social Benefits • Deliver much needed market and affordable housing, making a material contribution to the supply of housing within South Cambridgeshire District and within Great Abington. • Provide affordable dwellings, which equates to 40% of the total housing. • Provide a choice of high quality homes to meet local needs in a manner that can achieve sustainable growth and quality design. Environmental • Provide additional strategic landscaping, woodland planting, green infrastructure and open space to enhance the surrounding landscape. • Provide enhanced habitats that will improve the ecological value of the land. • Promote sustainable forms of transport by including walking, cycling and public transport infrastructure and facilities, which connect to the existing networks in the surrounding area. Economic • Provide employment opportunities, including local construction jobs. • Provide housing for employees. • Reduce commuting distances.
The site could accommodate approximately 25 dwelling at a very low density of dwellings, which is based on a density of 15 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement with ample provision for landscaping and open space to serve the site and the neighbouring approved development. 2025: between 14 to 18 residential units

There are two opportunities to provide means of access into the site. The planning approval S/1433/16.OL made provision for an access into the site via the adjacent residential development via a new T junction ‘bellmouth’ constructed on Pampisford Road approximately 115m east of the junction with High Street. There is a legal right to use this established access through to this site. There will also be access to the adjacent footpath to the west. There is also an opportunity to provide a new access from Pampisford Road as shown on the site plan, but the site can readily be accessed from the neighbouring site.
There are no physical constraints that would prevent development from taking place. The site is bounded by a recently approved development to the west and the old railway line to the south.
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.
No answer given
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 Great Abington 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, and the site is well related to Cambridge.
