S/2104/06/F & APP/W0530/A/07/2050690 - An application for 76 affordable homes was refused in January 2007 and was later dismissed on appeal in April 2008. Main issues were the inclusion of 3 storey elements and impact upon countryside/ distance to village facilities. The application documents provide context for the site and confirmation that there were no technical objections to the development of this site for housing at the time of the appeal determination. S/0079/12/FUL - an application for 25 affordable homes was withdrawn in April 2015. Similarly, the application documents demonstrate that there are no known technical constraints to development.
Greenfield
The site is available and suitable for residential development. This takes into account the nature of the surrounding land uses - being bordered by existing houses on 3 sides. Option 1 - Drawing sketch 08-03-2019: Residential development up to 100 homes - can include a mix of market homes and affordable housing including key worker housing where appropriate;
The Site is ideally located to meet the identified needs of the local residents: Affordable Housing: Using the latest Gt Shelford Village Housing Needs Survey (March 2017) prepared by Acre, there was an identified requirement for 97 affordable homes to meet current and immediate housing need in Great Shelford. This site could contribute significantly towards providing a high proportion of that need as part of a housing development. For example, at 120 units, 40% provision of affordable housing would be 48 homes to meet identified need. Key Worker: The Site benefits from being in close proximity to Addenbrookes and is also ideally placed to deliver some Key Worker housing as part of its affordable housing mix (see attached Local Accessibility Plan)
100 homes [Please change the upper limit of development to 100 units. This is being proposed to address the HELAA concerns as follows: A single Highways Access is deemed suitable for up to 100 homes. The red flag should be removed. The density has been reduced to respond to the surrounding character.]. Sketch layout 08-03-2019 demonstrates potential layout option.

This is evidenced by the interest from the developer partner, Hill Residential. Great Shelford is a desirable village with access to public transport and key amenities. Jobs and other key services are located in close proximity to Great Shelford and are easily accessible by walking, cycling and public transport. There is strong demand for development in this location.

The site is available and suitable for residential development. This takes into account the nature of the surrounding land uses - being bordered by existing houses on 3 sides. Option 2 - Drawing Sketch 07-08-2015: residential development comprising a mix of residential homes (circa 90 homes) and a care home/older persons living accommodation (circa 60 bed spaces)
The Site is ideally located to meet the identified needs of the local residents: Affordable Housing: Using the latest Gt Shelford Village Housing Needs Survey (March 2017) prepared by Acre, there was an identified requirement for 97 affordable homes to meet current and immediate housing need in Great Shelford. This site could contribute significantly towards providing a high proportion of that need as part of a housing development. For example, at 120 units, 40% provision of affordable housing would be 48 homes to meet identified need. Older persons accommodation: Great Shelford differs from the district and county profiles in two key respects, one being a higher proportion of older people (75+). The Acre study identified other housing needs from owner occupiers requiring an alternative form of accommodation for downsizing and/or single level living. The options put forward for the site include a 60 bed care home (Use Class C2) or Older Persons accommodation (C3). Key Worker: The Site benefits from being in close proximity to Addenbrookes and is also ideally placed to deliver some Key Worker housing as part of its affordable housing mix (see attached Local Accessibility Plan)
120-150 homes depending on final unit mix. Sketch layout 07-08-2015 demonstrates potential layout options.
