There was an application for a single dwelling at the site in the 1970’s.
Greenfield
The site could accommodate 13 dwellings with open space. An Illustrative Site Layout Plan is submitted with this response. The quantum of development has been determined by the edge of village location.
The proposed development would provide additional housing for Orwell. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The trees and hedgerows at the boundary of the site would be retained as part of the proposed development. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Orwell including the village store, public house, mobile library, and bus service.
The site could accommodate 13 dwellings, which is based on the character of the site and surroundings and the edge of village location.

The access to the proposed development would be via the existing access from Leaden Hill.

The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. The site contains a number of trees and hedgerows, most of which are located at the site boundary. The orchard at the southern boundary of the site would be retained within the proposed development. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment of the site will need to be undertaken. The proposed development will seek to retain as many of the trees as possible. The proposed development would provide additional landscape planting in order to create an attractive landscape setting for the proposed dwellings. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development. The proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures within the landscape strategy. The site does not fall within the setting of any heritage assets.
No answer given
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and uses and so connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner and developer and is deliverable for development. However, the site will need to be allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process before it will be available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Orwell have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders.

An Illustrative Masterplan is submitted with this response. The site is located on the western edge of Orwell, immediately adjacent to the development framework boundary for the village. The site is not within the Green Belt. There are no heritage assets within close proximity of the site. Orwell contains a primary school, village store including a post office, a public house, a hairdresser, a village hall, church hall, recreation facilities and a mobile library service. There is a limited bus service to Cambridge. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in the village.

Section 4.3.3 of the Issues & Options consultation document identifies the factors that are relevant to the creation of safe and inclusive communities. As set out in the response to Question 16, there are substantial affordability issues in Greater Cambridge associated with the high cost of buying and renting housing, and those that cannot afford to live in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire close to employment opportunities having to endure longer commuting. It is considered that the emerging GCLP should include a development strategy that seeks to meet housing and affordable housing needs and locate housing closer to employment opportunities to reduce in-commuting.

Paragraph 91 of the NPPF seeks to deliver healthy, inclusive and safe places, and identifies a number of approaches to support healthy lifestyles. It promotes social interaction through mixed-use developments, strong neighbourhood centres, street layouts that include pedestrian and cycle connections, and active street frontages for example. It enables and supports healthy lifestyles, by providing green infrastructure, sports facilities, local shops, access to healthier food, allotments, and layouts that encourage walking and cycling for example. NHS England Healthy Towns Initiatives identified ten principles to deliver healthy places, which relate to the provision of health services, meeting local and community health needs, and development design matters. In terms of design matters it is suggested that compact neighbourhoods, active travel, healthy eating opportunities, play and leisure facilities would contribute towards the delivery of healthy places. It is considered that the promoted development at land off Leaden Hill in Orwell would be consistent with guidance and initiatives to support healthy lifestyles. The promoted development is accessible to the services and facilities within Orwell by walking and cycling. There are outdoor play and recreation facilities at Town Green Road, which is within walking distance of the site.

NOT SPECIFIED ANSWERS TO QUESTION 42. It is considered that in reality the development strategy for emerging GCLP will be based on a combination of spatial distribution options, including development at the more sustainable villages. The scale of development that occurs at individual villages will depend on the level of services and facilities. Orwell is an example of a settlement that could accommodate additional development, as explained in the call for sites submission. It was acknowledged in the appeal decision for land at Hurdleditch Road, Orwell in 2017 (Ref. APP/W0530/W/16/3157596) that there was a reasonable level of facilities in the village and that residents could travel to by walking and cycling, but that residents would need to travel elsewhere for some of their needs.
