Holistic approach to the redevelopment of the site including farm buildings conversions to residential/commercial use, new family and smaller dwellings and elderly persons dwellings (for downsizers), local needs housing, new amenity space and wildlife habitat creation. High quality design appropriate to this location. Community involvement. Update: Flexible office space 105sqm, community cafe 52sqm.
The parish has a high proportion of elderly residents. The proposal is to seek to enable downsizing to free up larger dwellings for families and provide suitable mix of smaller houses and elderly persons residences. Proposal would help to deliver Council's housing strategy in terms of multi-generational development offer. The community is currently struggling to sustain its existing community facilities eg Parish Council, church, village hall, playground etc and moderate growth would help to achieve sustainability for the long term.

There is an existing site access onto Clarkson Road which is perfectly adequate for the lawful uses on site which includes a nursery and student accommodation. The characteristics of such uses in terms of attracting vehicular traffic are different to other land uses
The site clearly has access to key facilities given it was constructed for student accommodation including a library and catering facilities. In the instance where any redevelopment would come forward for an expansion of the existing student or educational use, it may be the case that existing facilities may need upgrading but certainly it is envisaged that such (if required) upgrading should not prevent any intensification of use on the site.
The site is available now for development given that the College is the freehold owner and that current uses are capable of early termination in the event that he site is considered appropriate for redevelopment.

Residential development of 177 dwellings, open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure.
The site could provide new market and affordable housing in a district where there is a pressing and rising housing need. Any scheme would make provision for accessible open space, play space and landscaping to serve residents of the scheme and the wider community. Subject to compliance with CIL Regulations at the planning application stage any development may also need to provide planning appropriate obligations towards improving local infrastructure e.g. schools, GPs and community facilities.
The dwelling estimate is informed by the submitted Development Framework Plan and detailed technical work relating to: highways, drainage and heritage/archaeology. A desk based assessment has been made of other potential constraints to inform the Framework Plan.

The southern parcel of land currently falls within Flood Zone 2 and Flood Zone 3. My client has commissioned a flooding and drainage consultant to review the potential flooding constraints associated with the development of the site. The work undertaken to date has confirmed that the area of the site currently affected by the flood zone designations can be reduced. The exact reduction in the area of the site affected the flood zone designations is still to be confirmed at this stage and is subject to a modelling exercise. On this basis the submitted Development Framework Plan acknowledges the presence of this current constraint. To inform the Council’s review of the site and demonstrate its sustainability and suitability, my client will make future submissions on this matter at a later date. My client is confident that there is a technical solution to this matter which would allow a development of 177 dwellings to come forward whilst not exposing residents of the site or existing residents of the village to an increased level of flood risk. The submitted Heritage Appraisal confirms that there are no known heritage or archaeological constraints associated with the site. Current Flood Zone (subject to modelling work) indicated on the Framework Plan.
No answer given
It is envisaged that any scheme would be served by the full range of utilities required to serve a residential development of this scale. At the planning application stage, technical work would confirm the capacity of local infrastructure and the applicant would work with providers to establish a robust solution to serve the scheme without having a detrimental impact on the existing community.
The site is available for development now and is under option by a housebuilder. Subject to achieving a site allocation in the Local Plan and all the necessary permissions development would be able to commence.

Having regard to site character and size of site we are suggesting that the site has the potential to accommodate at least 25 new dwellings. The College has also suggested that he site could come forward as an alternative for new student rooms and in this context could accommodate say 50 new rooms and communal areas at this initial stage of investigation.

The site possesses an existing access on to Madingley Road. There are two means of vehicular access to the site from Madingley Road, which is adopted public highway. The western-most access would be appropriate to serve as a vehicular access to the redevelopment, subject to potential slight widening (depending on vehicle tracking) that could be undertaken within the site. This widening would be so that a vehicle entering the site can wait at the site access clear of Madingley Road (including the footway) whilst a vehicle exits the site, and without the need to reverse onto Madingley Road. Some clearance of vegetation may be required to improve intervisibility to / from the site access, but it appears that the required visibility splay of at least 2.4m x 43m is available. The eastern-most access would not be appropriate to serve as a vehicular access to the redevelopment because of the vicinity to the signalised junction with Grange Road - although an existing access, it appears to have a low level of use. Vehicles wanting to turn right into the site (travelling from Madingley Road East) would need to give-way to eastbound traffic and in doing so are likely to block westbound traffic. The resulting queue would quickly extend back through the Madingley Road / Grange Road junction. Vehicles approaching the junction on Madingley Road (East) or Grange Road may not anticipate the potential for such queuing traffic if they have a green signal, and therefore may need to brake suddenly. The eastern-most access, however, would be an appropriate pedestrian and cycle access into the site. Closing this access to vehicular traffic would result in a reduction in the number of Madingley Road access points from an existing two accesses to only one access. This is considered a road safety benefit in itself, as there will be one less point of potential conflict between road users on Madingley Road, and even low an existing low level of use, it would remove the right turn safety issue raised above. The comments above are based on either a residential development in the order of 25 dwellings, or student accommodation in the order of 50 student rooms. Increasing these scales of development may invite further considerations about highway safety and the capacity of using the western-most access, and which would therefore need some further technical assessment. However for the purposes of this initial assessment of the site , we consider that the westernmost access following widening an improvement will allow further potential redevelopment opportunities for the site
Site is within Conservation Area with trees subject to protection. Building in NE corner is listed.
The site lies within the defined urban area of Cambridge and is a site which already contains 4 large residential properties and which possesses the normal access to the relevant utilities. On the basis that this site is surrounded by a substantial amount of development and all connected into the utilities it follows that there are no insurmountable issues that would prevent this site coming forward for development.

Vehicular access into and from the site would be sought from Fen Road, as shown on the accompanying Site Layout Plan.
There are no heritage assets on or in proximity to the site, although it is noted that the Fen Ditton Conservation Area runs along the River Cam to the south of the site. Clearly any new development would need to acknowledge this issue. There are no ecological or landscape designations on or in proximity to the site. The site does lie within Flood Zone 2, to the north of the site and Flood Zone 3 to the south of the site as it meets the River Cam. The site’s boundary is surrounded by tree and hedgerow although there are no trees scattered within the site.
Although the site does not currently have access to key utilities, these can be secured at a later stage, should the site be allocated and a planning application come forward. There are no known key utilities crossing the site.
High The site lies in a highly sustainable location on the edge of Cambridge in close proximity to both Cambridge North railway station, 0.95km walk from the site, which provides a regular service to London, Kings Lynn and Ely as well as the Guided Busway which provides a number of regular services to Huntingdon, St Ives and across Cambridge, 0.65km from the site.

In terms of policy, within the recently adopted Cambridge Local Plan (2018), the western part of the site (which falls within the administrative boundary of Cambridge City Council) is allocated under policy 54: Residential Moorings, allocation RM1 The site was also previously allocated in the 2006 Cambridge Local Plan for use as residential moorings. The extent of the allocation comprises 0.98 hectares.. Within the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan (2018) the eastern part of the site is allocated for residential moorings within the Special Policy Area policy H7. This part of the site is also subject to a Green Belt designation. Both policies support the development of a marina at the site.

The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Elsworth including the primary school, community shop, public houses and bus services.
The site could accommodate approximately 27 dwellings, which is based on a density of 30 dwellings/hectare and reflects the edge of settlement location and character of village and surrounding area. The quantum of development may be lower once heritage and landscape/trees factors have been taken into account, and open space is provided on site.

A new vehicular access will need to be created for the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
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. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken, but it is unlikely that there will be any constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment of the site will need to be undertaken because of the existing trees and hedgerows at the site boundary. It is likely that most of the trees and hedgerows could be retained within the proposed development, except to create a new highway access. The site is located within the Elsworth Conservation Area. There are listed buildings within the vicinity of the site, including Parish Church of Holy Trinity (Grade I) to the south of the site. An assessment of the impact of development on these heritage assets will need to be undertaken.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Elsworth and elsewhere in villages close to Cambridge have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders.

The scheme as proposed is for an affordable housing led scheme affordable for 35 affordable homes (depending upon the final mix of dwellings) on their land at the end of More's Meadow, together with significant landscaping and open space provision and the relocation of the existing allotments. The allotments will can be accessed via The Hectare.
The proposed development would provide additional housing and affordable housing for Great Shelford. Great Shelford is surrounded by the Green Belt, and there are limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological benefits. The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Great Shelford and nearby Trumpington, including convenience stores, public houses and bus services. The proposal is relatively low density and the proposed built form can be mitigated by extensive soft landscaping it is considered that these aspects would prevent unrestricted sprawl and prevent coalescence. The proposed development would not result in encroachment into the countryside as the new built form would be constructed near and seen against the backdrop of existing urban development and have a clear physical association with the existing built and engineered form towards and beyond the Site’s south east and northwest boundaries. The design concept is specifically designed to provide a bespoke design response to the site’s constraints ensuring that there is minimal intrusion on the visual amenity of the green belt. The landscape led masterplan aims create a series of interacting spaces: providing sustainable housing in a natural setting, enhancing opportunities for people to enjoy the landscape, and increasing biodiversity to achieve an overall ‘positive gain’ by respecting and enhancing the existing natural spaces. The railway forms a physical separation from the wider countryside with the noise of trains and an interruption to views. Nonetheless, from the centre of the Site there is an openness characteristic of the local landscape character with views towards arable fields and chalk hills nearby.
The site could accommodate approximately 35 dwellings. Based on the concept plan 25 dwellings are shown within a smaller site (currently subject to a pre-app). However, the site has the capacity for a greater number (35) based on 25 dph (a site area of 1.4 ha for the residential element.

The access is via Morse's Meadow and it can be demonstrated that a safe access can be provided for the proposed development.
Most of the site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. This is reflected in the layout plans, whereby the small area of the site that falls within Flood Zone 2 is identified for open space provision. The proposed development would include an appropriate drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage. An ecological assessment of the site has been undertaken by SLR, and there are no constraints to development, and the proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include ecological enhancement measures within the landscape strategy. An archaeological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken. The site is not affected by any other heritage assets. There are no constraints to development to at the site. An assessment provided by SLR confirms that the habitats within the site are typical of an urban fringe agricultural land and is unlikely to be considered to be more than local biodiversity interest.
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 is available for development. The scheme will comprise affordable housing and could qualify as an exception site. However, for a further development the site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process before it will be available for development.
As a community-led housing project, the Trustees have also undertaken a Public Exhibition on the 20th June 2018. This revealed string support for the proposed development of affordable housing, with 67% in favour of schemes between 10 and 20 dwellings and 25% in favour of 21+. The Cambridgeshire Acre was commissioned to carry out a Housing Needs Survey in No 2016 by the Parish Council, with a survey completed in March 2017. The survey was carried out to support the emerging Great Shelford. A total of 97 households were identified as being in need of affordable housing who either live in, or have a local connection to, Great Shelford, comprising 58no. 1 bed, 27no. 2 bed, 11no. 3 bed and 1 no. 4 bed. The preferred mix and tenure will need to be agreed with Scambs. The Annual Monitoring Report refers to provision of 530 homes between 2017/18 and 2021/22, in relation to Trumpington Meadows of this total 232 will be affordable, and one of the criticism within the previous pre-app response was that these would meet local need. This will need to be addressed, but the scheme is a separate entity to Great Shelford, and also provides for the needs, at least in part, for Cambridge City.

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.

The proposal seeks allocation for a mixed-use development including residential, community and employment uses along with public open space, a relief road and associated infrastructure.
The proposed development would deliver a range of benefits to Hardwick. The Site provides an unique opportunity to deliver new community, recreation and employment uses, alongside residential development which would support and enhance the offer of the village. The proposed development would re-balance the spatial form of Hardwick, re-enforcing the functional centre around the primary school as a focus for activity and community interaction. The Site could provide a new relief road, relieving congestion and enhancing connectivity to promote the use of sustainable modes of travel. The scheme would include a network of new public open spaces and green infrastructure, including play spaces and sports pitch provision.
circa 400-500 residential units, office and employment space The site could accommodate approximately 300-500 dwellings. It is in a sustainable location and close to Cambridge, with further improvements proposed as part of the Better Public Transport Project that will further enhance sustainability. The site could support employment use as part of a residential-led mixed-use scheme, but the balance of uses will become apparent as the planning strategy progresses.
No answer given
The Site would have new access points on St Neots Road, Cambridge Road and Main Street. The Site lies adjacent to the public highway so there are no landownership constraints on the creation of new access. The proposals envisage the provision of new road, pedestrian and cycle routes which will improve movement and accessibility within and around the village centre.
No answer given
The Site lies in Flood Zone 1 (low flood risk) and there are no known constraints in relation to drainage, contamination and biodiversity. Parts of the Site lie within or adjacent to the Hardwick Conservation Area and a careful consideration of local heritage assets will inform scheme design.
No answer given
The Site has access to all of the key utilities. As a greenfield site, new infrastructure will be provided as part of the development.
The Site is available and the landowner supports the proposed allocation.
The Site lies in a village with a good range of existing amenities, which the development would enhance. The village contains a Good-rated primary school. Hardwick lies in the catchment area of the Ofsted-rated Outstanding Cambourne Village College. Hardwick has excellent access to Cambridge and its range of jobs and services. There is strong demand for new homes in Hardwick. The Site would create an attractive place to live, work and play within the heart of Hardwick Village. Benefiting from excellent strategic transport links and promoting connectivity within the village, the development would promote the use of sustainable modes of travel by future occupiers.
