There should be some flexibility towards the development of both jobs and homes on the edge of villages, if the village boundaries are to be drawn tightly around the villages. This will be more important if there are few housing and employment sites in or around villages. Housing and employment in villages will have multiple benefits. These are: they will contribute towards the need of Greater Cambridge, contribute towards the vitality of the villages, which will reduced the need for new and existing residents to travel into urban areas to access services, facilities and employment.

There should be sufficient flexibility towards size of housing developments allowed within village boundaries, so that applications can be considered on their merits. A set size limit applied to all villages irrespective of their nature and size may prevent what would otherwise be appropriate development for that village.

Villages should be allowed to grow in a sustainable way. They are places where people work and live. If villages are prevented from growing then the vitality of the village may be harmed, for example existing shops and pubs are more likely to close, which would lead to existing residents having to travel further to access services and facilities to meet their day-to-day needs.

Response to Question 2 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A site access drawing and a topographical survey were submitted with the Call for Sites form for this site in March 2019. There are agreements with landowners in place. The site could become available now and all of housing built-out within 2 years. Additional work has been undertaken on this site since the Call for Sites submission. Consultation has taken place with Council Development Management Officers regarding possible residential development on this site and the community will be consulted in the planning and design process. The scheme will address emerging policy and design guidance. Careful consideration will be given to the density and mix of housing. Residential space standards would be met. The required level of affordable housing would be provided. A landscape buffer would be provided along the boundary of the site to provide a soft green village edge. A play area would be provided. An assessment of the sustainability of the site and the proposed development has been undertaken. The site and future development would have good access to services and facilities available in Gamlingay. These include public houses, restaurant, café, convenience stores, hairdressers, barbers, pharmacy, dental practice, churches, primary school, preschools and nursery. There is also access to public transport. The site would be in a sustainable location.
