The majority of the site is greenfield. However as part of the site is currently used as a Caravan and Camping Site, this has required the establishment of access roads and ancillary buildings. There are a number of other buildings located on the wider site.
The site is available and suitable for residential development.
The Site is ideally located to meet the identified needs that exist in the current market in terms of private housing, affordable housing, older persons accommodation and key worker accommodation.
A minimum of 400 new dwellings.

The Site can be accessed via the existing Cabbage Moor road that currently provides access to the site. We are exploring a number of other alternative access arrangements so as not to limit the development potential of the site.
The Site slopes slightly in a South Westerly direction by circa 5m. As this slope is minor it does not prohibit development.
The eastern part of the site is within flood Zone 2, however the residential development will be located to Flood Zone 1.
Water, sewerage, electricity, gas and broadband are available via connection in Cambridge Road.
The Site is available for development subject to the relocation of the Caravan and Camping Club. It can be delivered with 2-3 years post adoption of the Local Plan.
The Site is within a strong residential market area where there is continued demand for a range of house types, sizes and tenures. The Site is located next to the Great Kneighton development and in close proximity to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

Residential development
The site can deliver circa 50 new homes, 40% of which would be affordable. The development would provide on-site open space.
The site will provide a policy compliant density of 30 dwelling per hectare as stipulated within the Adopted Local Plan. Circa 50 dwellings would therefore be appropriate for the site.

The Site benefits from a single access point from Hinton Road. Discussions are currently ongoing with adjoining landowners to secure an alternative access or widen the existing access.
The site is within flood zone 1 and there are no other environmental constraints that we are aware of that would restrict the development of this site.
Water, sewerage, electricity, gas and broadband are available via connections in Hinton Road.
The Site is available for development now. It can be delivered within 2 years post the adoption of the Local Plan.
The site lies in a village with excellent access to jobs, primary and secondary school, day-to-day convenience shopping, restaurants/pubs, recreation facilities, public transport, and where demand for housing is strong

Residential development
The total site area is approximately 5.69 hectares and is of a scale to allow a high quality residential development to come forward along with other complimentary facilities.
The site could provide a development with a density of around 30 dwelling per hectare on part of the site. The remaining areas of the site can be set over to wider community benefits and public open space.

The site can currently be accessed from Balsham Road. A new access will be required to form part of any application on the site to facilitate development. A transport statement has been prepared for the site and it has been concluded that a new access will be viable in the location shown.

The site has been identified to be within Flood Zone 1 meaning it is of 'low risk' of flooding. Ground water flooding was identified within the development site but this can be mitigated by setting finished floor levels 150mm above ground level. A flood risk assessment has been undertaken and concludes that Surface Water can be managed meaning that the development would not result in an increased flood risk. The site is situated within the Green Belt. There is a group of TPO's forming the Northern Boundary of the site but these can be retained and incorporated within the design. It has been concluded that the development can be facilitated without any undue impact on many of the boundary trees. The removal of any boundary trees can be compensated by landscaping on the site. The trees that will require felling works to be undertaken are not subject to TPO's. No reptiles were found on site as part of the latest survey effort. A disused badger set was found on site with no sign of recent activity. Bat foraging was present on the northern boundary of the site by the row of existing trees. These trees would be retained as part of the development, therefore it was concluded that the development of the site would not result in adverse impacts on bats. All ecological works will be updated should the site become allocated. The site is considered to have a low to low-moderate potential for archaeological remains. There is a right of way along the western side of the site which will be retained, incorporated and enhanced as part of the design proposals for the site.

The Council should involve a wide range of stakeholders in the preparation of the plan. That should include significant involvement of the development industry to ensure that the plan is deliverable and responsive to a rapidly changing world. We would recommend the establishment of a developers sounding board as a means for engaging with the development industry. That could be based on an existing group, such as the Cambridgeshire Developers Forum. Such a group could advise on implementation of and drafting of policy to ensure that the plan is deliverable.

Whilst the NPPF requires that strategic policies should have a minimum 15 year time horizon on adoption, there would be considerable merit in strategic policies looking beyond this time period to 2050. The development plan system provides for policies to be reviewed every 5 years and hence if there are significant changes in circumstances that would be picked up during a review of strategic policies and trigger an updating of the plan. Planning to 2050 would provide a clear direction and base and would simply mean that in future the plan making process can focus on allocating land to meet agreed development needs, rather than revising and debating growth levels. That would greatly speed up plan making. We also consider there is a practical reason to look further ahead. The local plan will need to be adopted by March 2025 to provide a 15 year horizon to 2040. Experience suggests that such a timetable will be challenging and may not be achieved. It would be disappointing to get close to adoption only to find that there will not be a 15 year time horizon on adoption and hence further work required, delaying adoption further. We consider it would be prudent therefore to plan to 2050.

The plan cannot be developed without consideration of London’s economy and unmet housing need. London exerts a powerful influence across a wide area, including Greater Cambridge. London’s unmet need is now considered to be around 140,000 homes over the period 2018 to 2028. If consideration is not given to the implications of that it is likely that there will continue to be under provision with negative economic, social and environmental impacts.
