S/3137/17/FL - Change of use from paddock to amenity green space – Refused 07/02/2019 Adjacent site - S/3170/17/OL - Outline planning permission with all matters reserved for self-build/custom build residential development for up to 9 dwellings – Granted on appeal 23/09/2019
Greenfield
Residential
Residential development at the site would form a natural extension to the self-build development approved at the adjacent site and will achieve sustainable development that relates well to the village of Gamlingay, a village with a good level of services and facilities in South Cambridgeshire. The development will provide much needed housing and could contribute to meeting the need for self-build plots. The site is capable of redevelopment and is limited to poor quality grazing paddock which would be put to better use through housing provision. There will be economic benefits through the construction jobs created and owner/occupiers using local services and facilities.
The estimated number of residential units is 5 dwellings which is roughly 10 dwellings per hectare. Given the position of the site on the edge of the village and the surrounding pattern of development, including the approved self-build development adjacent, this is considered to be an appropriate number of dwellings.

The site benefits from an existing agricultural access. Despite the existing access, it is considered that access to the site could be incorporated into the approved outline scheme on the adjacent land (S/3170/17/OL).
N/A
There is a listed building to the west of the site. The land was previously used for landfill. It is considered that adequate planting and appropriate design would ensure the proposed development would not harm the significance or setting of the listed building. A Contamination Report associated with the application at the adjacent site clarified that the previous landfill use need not block the proposed development subject to appropriate control.

The land can be developed immediately, and the landowner is wholly supportive of development at the site. There are no legal or physical constrains to immediate development.
The adjacent self-build plots granted under S/3170/17/OL have attracted a significant amount of interest from prospective buyers, further highlighting the demand for custom build plots across Greater Cambridge. Gamlingay is especially attractive given the range of employment opportunities within the village. Additionally, the site is well connected to nearby towns and villages which offer further employment opportunities and services such as Potton, Sandy, St Neots, Cambourne and Cambridge.
