The land is in a central village location and suitable for a variety of housing uses including market housing, affordable housing or housing for people with disabilities or receiving care. Any scheme would also offer the potential to offer land for recreation and open space as an extension to the adjoining Recreation Ground. Site capacity c.40 dwellings.

Market and affordable housing , Key worker housing , Older persons housing , Residential care home , Custom or self build housing , Other forms of housing

Public open space , Recreation and leisure

Part of the site would be dedicated to the Parish Council for an extension to the adjoining recreation ground. The site is sustainable as it is very close to the commercial centre of the village (Woollards Lane) and to the railway station.

Based on development of around 1.3ha on the northern half of the site with around 1.2ha to be dedicated as recreation area. The exact balance of uses is to be agreed.

Around 20m of the frontage to the River Cam, on the southern boundary, is within Flood Risk Zone 2 or 3. The land falls within the Great Shelford Conservation Area. The strip of woodland along the eastern boundary, together with certain individual trees within the site, are protected by TPOs. The land is currently within the Green Belt. Flood Risk plan attached. Development would not extend into this area. Any scheme proposed would be designed to protect heritage assets and enhance the general setting.

Whilst a full survey has not been completed, we assume suitable utilities are readily available in this central village location.

Available now

The site is undeveloped and subject to a short term, terminable, grazing licence.

Enquiries received

The site would form an easily deliverable extension to the village with expansion bounded by the river. The site is highly sustainable due to its very close proximity to the commercial centre of the village and to public transport.
