Mixed use development comprising the provision of new office commercial units comprising B1a, B1b, and B1c units, potential refurbishment of existing warehouse to provide for office accommodation, and the provision of dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space and landscaping.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Teversham. The provision of employment development will also contributing positively to the mixed use scheme. Teversham 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 Teversham. and provide a positive and sustainable mix of uses that will contribute positively to the village.
The site could accommodate approximately 30 dwellings which is based on a density of 25 dwellings/hectare within the non employment area of the site and reflects the edge of settlement and current Green Belt location.

The existing vehicular access would be used adjacent from the High Street. The current access will need to be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development, but sufficient land is available. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe access can be provided for the proposed development.
There are no particular physical constraints that would constrain 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 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. The site is located in the greenbelt, outside the settlement boundary and part within the conservation area. No TPO’d tree have been identified. Immediately to the west of the site is a grade II listed building located immediately to the west. A small part of site is also in the conservation area again at the western end of 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 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, because other sites on the edge of Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders. In addition, there is a limited supply of development sites in Teversham ,which is located in close proximity to Cambridge.

Previously Developed Land
Development for up to 10 residential units and open space
The development would contribute new housing to meet local needs in a highly sustainable location. Although outside of the development framework, the site is well related to the built up area of the village. There is a proposed new development (Clarion Housing Group) of 155 dwellings surrounding the site to the west and south, this will contain the site within the built up area of the village and means that the site will form a logical plot for new development. Development would also involve the sustainable reuse of previously developed land. The proposed development could include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in the locality including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.
The development could accommodate up to 10 residential dwellings, based on a density of circa 30 dwellings/hectare, which is suitable given context of the site and the edge of village location. This is comparable with the adjoining Clarion Group site.

Residential development for approximately 26 dwellings, with open space and green infrastructure, and vehicular access. The site could also include plots for self/custom-building housing.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Little Abington. There are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary because most of the village is designated as a Conservation Area, and there is a designated Local Green Space and a Protected Village Amenity Area in the village. As such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development could support the existing services and facilities in Little Abington and Great Abington, including the primary school, public house, convenience store and post office, and bus services. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits.
The site could accommodate approximately 26 dwellings based on a density of 20 dwellings/hectare. The proposed density and quantum of development are low to include open space within the proposed development, and to take into account the setting of the adjacent listed building, the trees at the site frontage, and the character of the site and surrounding area.

The Site is relatively flat and extends to approximately 8.5ha (northern parcel extending to 2.0ha and southern parcel to 6.5ha). The Site is bound to the north by the rear gardens of properties off the High Street, to the east by Malton Road, to the south partially by hedgerow and to the west by established hedgerow and the rear gardens of properties off Lotfield Street and Pearmains Close. A drain separates the two parts of the Site. The Site is located in a relatively sustainable location on the south eastern edge of the village of Orwell. The No.75 bus service provides Orwell with a daily bus service (x5) (Monday-Friday) to Drummer Street Station, Cambridge, this service drops to a twice daily on a Saturday. The nearest rail connection is located approximately 3 miles to the south east of the Site at Shepreth, which provides hourly services (Monday-Sunday) to Cambridge and London Kings Cross. The Site provides a good opportunity for residential development with this including market and affordable housing.
The development would provide both market and affordable housing in Orwell. Development would also bring associated economic benefits, inter alia, part-time and fulltime equivalent (FTE) jobs.
Site A - up to 35 residential units; and Site B - up to 120 residential units. Total - up to 155 residential units
No uploaded files for public display
Access to Site A would be either from the High Street requiring third party land or from Malton Road, across Site B.
The Site lies on the south eastern edge of the village of Orwell and it is therefore considered other utilities such as mains water supply, sewerage, gas, electricity and broadband are available. Further studies will need to be undertaken in respect of capacity of these utility services.
The Site has no physical constraints on its development.
As the Site has no significant constraints, the Site in our opinion will be attractive in the market.

The vision for the proposed development is a landscape-led urban extension to Cambridge to be delivered by a consortium of Colleges and the University of Cambridge, all being permanent stakeholders in the local community / economy and seeking to retain a signifcant long-term interest in the project. The aim for the proposed development is to deliver a high quality development with high sustainability standards, delivering a net gain in biodiversity. The consortium is highly committed to such aims and their long-term stewardship of the site will assist in delivering these. The proposed development is anticipated to comprise the following mix of uses: - around 2,000 dwellings, with the final number of dwellings dependent on a masterplanning exercise, including market and affordable / social housing with a range of tenures, housing for University and College staff, housing for elderly people (including care) and student accommodation; - community facilities including primary school, community centre, health centre; - neighbourhood centre including supermarket and other shops, services and facilities; - connections to the existing and planned walking, cycling and public transport network in the local area, and a development which places the needs of pedestrians and cyclists ahead of car users; - a comprehensive new green infrastructure network comprising open space and sports pitches, a new country park with potential connections to Coton Countryside Reserve, wildlife areas and biodiversity enhancement, and strategic landscaping; and, - sustainability measures including a water recycling system, district heating system and underground waste collection system.
The benefits of development at land north of Barton Road and to the west of Cambridge, include the following: - the provision of housing and affordable housing for key workers, including but not limited to University and College staff; - the provision of residential accommodation for the elderly, including care provision; - an accessible country park with potential connections to Coton Countryside Reserve offering significant scope for biodiversity enhancement; - delivery of a green 'wedge' of publicly accessible open space providing access from the City to the countryside to the west of Cambridge; - other green infrastructure and strategic landscaping to address visual impact and provide a buffer with the M11 to address noise and air quality impacts; - improvements to walking and cycling routes to encourage travel by non-car modes of transport (which is far more attainable from an edge of Cambridge site than from more distant locations away from the city); - potential to provide land for the Cambourne to Cambridge High Quality Public Transport Corridor, which is a Greater Cambridge Partnership project; - potential to contribute towards the planned for Western Orbital Route, which is a Greater Cambridge Partnership project; - the creation of additional north south public transport and cycle routes, and the provision of connections to existing developments at NW Cambridge, West Cambridge and Addenbrookes/Cambridge Biomedical Campus; - the potential provision of land for park & ride / park & cycle; and - the provision of a new local centre for the west Cambridge area as well as additional health and education infrastructure.
The land north of Barton Road was previously promoted for approximately 1,500 dwellings. The quantum of development proposed at that time was based on the outcome of an illustrative masterplan process. This fed into the previous review of the two Local Plans for the area. Section 3.5 'Compact City - Urban Extension' of the National Infrastructure Commission's (NIC) Final Report (February 2018) references land north of Barton Road and to the west of Cambridge as a prime case study to illustrate the sustainable delivery of an urban extension while maintaining the concept of a compact city. The case study acknowledged the opportunity to deliver a design and landscape-led development to the west of Cambridge, which includes medium and high density development around green wedges providing access to the countryside, in a location which is accessible to the City by walking and cycling. Moreover, the Cambridge & Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER) report (September 2018) identifies in Section 2.3 the benefits of 'fringe growth' allowing large numbers of people who work in the city to be housed not too far from their place of work, with positive effects on well-being. Against this emerging economic background, a revised illustrative masterplan will be prepared for the proposed development to take into account the matters raised in the NIC case study for this site and as touched upon in the CPIER report i.e. a design and landscape-led development, including a subsantial green wedge and medium and higher density development. Having regard to development densities achieved on other sites on the periphery of the city, it is considered that a development of around 2,000 dwellngs might be achievable; however, this will need to necessarily flow from the masterplanning process and will not be the driver or starting point.

The vehicular access to the proposed development would be from Barton Road. There are options to deliver an additional access in conjunction with development on land to the north owned by St John's College who it is understood will continue to promote development on their own site.

A number of technical documents were prepared for the previous promotion of the site, including an Ecological Appraisal, Initial Landscape & Visual Appraisal, Transport Report, Flood Risk Assessment and Archaeological Desk Based Assessment. The Landscape & Visual Impact Appraisal concluded that, in landscape terms, the land to the north of Barton Road located closer to the existing urban edge is suitable for development. The proposed development will incorporate strategic landscaping and other landscape enhancement measures, alongside open space and recreation facilities. In terms of the Green Belt, the site has only a localised effect on the setting of the City and it does not give rise to any material effect on the coalescence of Cambridge with the outlying villages of Grantchester and Coton and it does not form a significant part of the setting of Cambridge. The Ecological Appraisal of the site concluded that a sensitively designed development can be delivered at the site without significant ecological impacts, subject to implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. A wildlife reserve and country park could be provided as part of the development, either within the site or in the surrounding area to provide ecological enhancement. The promoters of the site are committed to enhancing the site's biodiversity and intend to promote the development having regard to the Nature Tookit as recommended by the Natural Cambridgeshire Local Nature Partnership (LNP). The Transport Report concluded that the location of the site and local transport services available means that future residents of the proposed development would have a wide and realistic choice of travel modes for trips to shopping, work and leisure purposes. It is concluded that in transport terms development at land north of Barton Road would meet appropriate national and local policies aimed at securing sustainable development by reducing both the need to travel by private motor vehicle, and the length of motorised journeys. This provides distinct sustainabilty advantages compared to more dispersed sites, located away from the city of Cambridge The Drainage & Flood Risk Report assessed the extent to which flood risk may be a constraint to development at the site. All of the buildings within the proposed development would take place on land within Flood Zone 1 which equtes to low flood risk areas. There is sufficient land available to include flood storage areas within the proposed development, in order to manage surface water run-off from the site. Any access roads across the flood zones can be designed to Environment Agency requirements to ensure that the roads themselves are safe and do not cause any increase in flood risk by restricting river flow or displacing flood water storage. An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment was prepared for the site to determine the presence/absence of known archaeological sites within the study area and immediate environs, and to assess the potential for archaeological remains surviving within the development site. The possible areas of greatest archaeological potential are the area of Iron Age settlement south of Barton Road, land either side of the Roman Akeman Street, a gravel outcrop adjacent to the Bin Brook, and the higher ground around “Aldermanne Hill” and “The Clint” on the northern and western edges of the site. It was concluded that the impact of the proposed development on any archaeological remains would be off-set by design to preserve those remains in situ or by excavation to preserve by record. There are no constraints to the principle of development at the site. The main conclusions of these reports are unlikey to have altered since they were undertaken. Those reports will nevetheless be updated to support the promotion of the site through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process and will feed into the preparation of a new masterplan. This will be particularly so in relation to landscaping and biodiversity, whereby the need to protect and enhance the site's natural capital will be an absolute driver for the development.
No answer given
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure.
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 likely that, as with other previous strategic allocations on the edge of Cambridge, there will be a requirement for a supplementary planning document and a masterplan to be prepared, submitted and approved in advance of any planning application for the proposed development at the site. The assessment of site availability reflects the process that will be required, consultation with statutory consultees and the local community, the determination of the outline application and subsequent reserved matters, and the delivery of primary infrastructure.
The landowners within North BRLOG are experienced at promoting land within their ownership for development, and as such it has not been necessary to engage a developer at this stage. The University of Cambridge is managing the delivery of the North West Cambridge development. The development at North West Cambridge and other strategic sites on the edge of Cambridge demonstrate that such sites are attractive to the market. A report was prepared for the previous promotion of the site which demonstrated that urban extension sites on the edge of Cambridge are deliverable and viable, which is typically not the case for strategic sites in other locations including new settlements. In due course the previous report on deliverability and viability will be updated.
There are no legal or landownership constraints to development at the site. The site is promoted by like-minded organisations.

On 5 January 1981 the eastern portion of the site was the subject of an application for residential development that was refused under reference S/1854/80/O. Given that nearly 40 years have passed since this decision and circumstances have changed significantly, it is not considered to be of particular relevance to the future development of the site. This is particularly because the proposed development of the site now fits with the Council's key planning objectives, as described below.
Greenfield
The proposed development is for approximately 225 dwellings including affordable dwellings, with open space, landscaping and access infrastructure. The proposed development could include plots for self-build/custom-build housing. It should also be noted that the landowner is developing The Vision Centre, which is located just 0.2km to the north west of the Mill Lane Site, and is an advanced manufacturing facility to produce cell therapy products for the UK and for export to the European Union. The cell therapy products include immune cell therapies for cancer which are in NIHR's Priority Portfolio and have received PIM designation as a Promising Innovative Medicine. The development of the Vision Centre will involve the creation of approximately 450 new jobs in phases over a couple of years, starting with the first phase this year. A key factor that will affect the pace at which personnel can be hired for these jobs will be the availability of housing nearby to the Vision Centre. Vision Centre employees will have to live nearby because producing and managing living cell products require unpredictable and varied hours (e.g. when a tissue is received for processing at any time). The jobs at the Vision Centre will be for a range of employees, from school leavers right through to PhDs, with a private apprenticeship programme planned. It should also be noted that the Mill Lane Site is located adjacent to existing residential areas that are extensive. The Mill Lane Site is also just on the edge of Sawston Village. The existing designation of the Mill Lane site as Green Belt is therefore out of context with these surroundings.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Sawston in a location that is adjacent to substantial existing residential development and is on the edge of Sawston village and commercial area and is well located to provide access to services and facilities within Sawston. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Sawston including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. Sawston is surrounded by Green Belt and there are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. As previously set out the landowner is developing The Vision Centre, which is located just 0.2km to the north west of the Mill Lane Site, and is an advanced manufacturing facility to produce cell therapy products for the UK and for export to the European Union. Development of the Vision Centre will involve the creation of about 450 new jobs in phases over a couple of years, starting this year. Jobs would be created for a range of employees including school leavers, and a planned private apprenticeship programme, right through to PhD level. The pace at which the new jobs at the Vision Centre can be filled will be heavily affected by whether sufficient housing is available nearby. Vision Centre employees will have to live nearby because they will be producing and managing living cell products which often require unpredictable or varied hours (i.e. when a tissue is received for processing at any time). The employment opportunities that will be created by The Vision Centre will have a significant positive impact on the local economy of Sawston and wider economy of South Cambridgeshire.
The site could accommodate approximately 225 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings per hectare. This reflects the site's location immediately adjacent to existing residential development and reflects the character of residential development within Sawston which extends to the east of the site.

Standard assessments to determine detailed access arrangements would be undertaken at the technical design stage. We anticipate that access will be achieved via the existing residential development known as White Field Way, which is immediately adjacent to the site. Alternatively, access could be achieved directly from Mill Lane.
The site is located within flood zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flooding. 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 will include ecological enhancement measures. The existing tree planting that runs relatively centrally through the site would be retained as far as possible as part of the proposed development and replacement tree planting could also be incorporated if necessary. The site is not affected by any heritage assets. Overall, there are no constraints to development at the site.
Key utilities are available to the existing residential development that is located immediately adjacent to the Mill Lane Site and the wider urban area that extends to the east, so new connections to the site are available. The site is crossed by pylons at present but it is proposed that these would be grounded in order to enable development to come forward on the site.
The site is promoted by a landowner who is strongly in favour of bringing the site forward for development in order to support their development of the nearby Vision Centre. 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 is available for development.
The landowner has previously received offers for the residential development of the site. It is therefore known that the site is attractive to the market. There has also been strong demand from developers and housebuilders for other sites in Sawston and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge. It should also be noted that the site is located immediately adjacent to existing residential development and the wider settlement of Sawston extends to the east. Additionally, the landowner proposes that this site could provide residential accommodation associated with the 450 employment opportunities that they are creating at The Vision Centre. The demand for housing is this location will therefore be strong.

The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Fowlmere. 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 is an existing vehicular access to the site from Rectory 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 sites eastern boundary falls within flood zones 2 and 3 although the majority of the site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. Proposals for the site could be developed to ensure that no development falls within the areas which are identified as being at risk from flooding. 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 site falls within Fowlmere Conservation Area. A heritage assessment would be required to assess the impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding area but it is considered that a scheme for the site can be developed that would not result in any harm to heritage assets. Overall, 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 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 Fowlmere and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders.

The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The existing Important Countryside Frontage on Frog Lane would be retained.
The Paddock land off Frog Lane falls with Flood Zones 2 and 3. The land adjoining Frog Lane is designated as an Important Countryside Frontage. There are trees within the site. It is anticipated that the proposed dwellings would be located on the current site of the allotments. The proposed development site equates to approximately 0.6 Ha and could accommodate approximately 18 dwellings based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare.

The existing vehicular access off Toft Lane would need to be upgraded to accommodate development at the site. A pedestrian/cycle access could be provided off Frog Lane. 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 Allotments (Site B) is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The Paddocks fall within Flood Zones 2 and 3. It is proposed that the Paddocks would be used for open space and green infrastructure, and no built development is proposed in areas at high risk of flooding. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the sites will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed developments will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment will need to be undertaken of the trees and hedgerows at the sites. There are two listed buildings located directly opposite the frontage off Frog Lane; Rookery Farmhouse (Grade II) and Barn at Rookery Farmhouse (Grade II). It is proposed that development would not be located on this frontage and the existing Important Countryside Frontage designation would be retained. An assessment of the impact of the proposed development on 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. 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 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 Great Wilbraham.
