The form and content of the promoted development has not been determined at this stage. The sites could provide market and affordable housing, housing for older people, and potentially self-build plots, a new village hall/community facility, and a convenience store/village shop for the village. The land could also accommodate green infrastructure including open space and ecological enhancements. The land south of Hall Lane is suitable for market and affordable housing, housing for older people and self-build plots. A part of the land at Bull Meadow could accommodate a village hall/community facility and convenience store/village shop, with the remainder used an extension to the existing recreation area and open space. The land at Wright’s Meadow could be used as an area for ecological enhancement or as an informal recreation area.
The form and content of the promoted development has not been determined at this stage. The sites could accommodate the following uses: market and affordable housing, self-build plots or housing for older people (land south of Hall Lane); housing for older people, a new village hall/community facility, and a convenience store/village shop and recreation area and open space (land at Bull Meadow); and green infrastructure, ecological enhancement and informal recreation area for local community (land at Wright’s Meadow). It would provide affordable housing to meet local needs of the village; in 2018 there was an identified need for 10 affordable dwellings in Great/Little Chishill for those with a local connection to the village – see South Cambridgeshire District Council's 'Housing Statistical Information Leaflet' (December 2018).

There are existing agricultural access to the sites off Hall Lane. The access arrangements would need to be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development, but sufficient land is available to accommodate a safe vehicular and pedestrian access with suitable visibility splays. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken.

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 sites 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. The site is not affected by any heritage assets. Overall, there are no constraints to development at the site.
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the village and so new connections will be possible.

The current site consists of an existing residential unit, a couple of out buildings with the remiander consisting of an extended garden. Around a quarter of the site is within the Sand and Gravel Mineral Safeguarding Area.
Residential Development for 34 dwellings with associated parking, landscaping, infrastructure of POS.
The site can deliver approximately 34 new homes, 40% of which would be affordable. The development would provide on-site open space.
34 residential units have been assumed on site to maximise the development in an area which is outside of the Greenbelt, with a number of coach and bus services running through the village. Although this is above the 8-15 dwellings stated in Policy S/10 it would make efficient use of land; provide affordable housing close to Cambridge, meet affordable housing needs at Harston without needing to remove land from the Green Belt.

There were planning applications in the 1990's relating to the current builders yard use. Pre-application advice was sought in 2016 for demolition of existing barns and erection of two dwellings buildings and erection of two dwellings (Ref. PRE/0138/16). A part of the land to the north of the site has planning permission for tennis courts and and a changing room/club room (Ref. S/1531/83/F). This development for tennis courts and club has started but is not complete; the Council confirmed, following a site inspection, in June 2014 that this development had started (letter ref. OLD/14/982 dated 5th June 2014). As set out below the landowner would consider, in conjunction with development at the promoted site, either agree to not complete the tennis court and club development or transfer it to community use if required.
Previously developed land.
The proposed development would provide 8 dwellings with parking provided in carports. The development would have an agricultural/barn style character, with the dwellings set around a courtyard. As part of the proposed development the landowner would consider permitting public access to the land to the north for community use and/or for ecological enhancement. The land to the north is designated as a Scheduled Monument - Castle Hill Earthworks. The landowner would, in conjunction with development on the land at Taylor's Lane, support archaeological investigations of the earthworks to provide additional information on this heritage asset.

The landowner would consider, in conjunction with development at the land at Taylor's Lane, either agree to not complete the tennis court and club development or transfer it to community use if required. It is considered that there would be heritage and community benefits if the tennis courts/club development was not implemented. The landowner owns the land to the north of Taylor's Lane.The land to the north is designated as a Scheduled Monument - Castle Hill Earthworks. The landowner would consider, in conjunction with development on the land at Taylor's Lane, support archaeological investigations of the earthworks. It is considered that those investigations would provide for the recording and preservation of this heritage asset and enable a better understanding of it by the local community and heritage advisors. As part of the proposed development the landowner would consider permitting public access to the land to the north for community use and/or for ecological enhancement. If required the land to the north could be used as an alternative site for net biodiversity gain for other development sites in Swavesey. The landowner intends to discuss all these potential benefits with Swavesey Parish Council.
The site could accommodate 8 dwellings. The developable area is 0.26Ha.

The proposed development would provide 8 dwellings with parking provided in carports. The development would have an agricultural/barn style character, with the dwellings set around a courtyard. It is considered that this approach would be consistent with the character of the site, the surrounding area and the village. The landowner will seek to ensure that the proposed development is sustainable in terms of materials, energy efficiency, and the use of resources. A layout feasibility plan is submitted with this call for sites response. The site is located immediately adjacent to the development framework boundary for the village The site is not located within the Green Belt. The adopted development strategy for South Cambridgeshire seeks to direct development to locations in the following order of preference; sites in the edge of Cambridge, within the new settlements, and at Rural Centres and Minor Rural Centres. Swavesey is designated as a Minor Rural Centre. Swavesey contains a good range of services and facilities, reflecting its status as a Minor Rural Centre. For example it contains a variety of convenience stores, a post office, a primary school (Swavesey Primary School) and a secondary school (Swavesey Village College), doctor's surgery and pharmacy, public houses and restaurants. Swavesey is accessible by walking, cycling and public transport, and is well-related to the Cambridge Guided Busway stop to the north of the village.

There is not an existing access which connects to the public highway. It is anticipated that access to the site will be achievable off the High Street. The Transport Note prepared by M-EC confirms that a safe and suitable access can be achieved for the proposed quantum of development. Please see Transport Note provided by M-EC
Detailed topographical work will be undertaken at application stage. However, the site is flat with no significant level changes, and therefore it is not anticipated that levels will cause problems for this site.
There are no known contamination risks on the site. There are no local wildlife or historical designations on the site and there are no listed buildings on the site. 3no. grade 2 listed buildings are located to the north of the site (i.e. 32 Church Street) but it is considered that development on this site will not adversely affect these buildings. An appropriate heritage assessment would be undertaken at any future planning application stage. The site is not located within the Green Belt. Please see Flood Risk and Drainage Note provided by M-EC and Ecology Report prepared by Applied Ecology. The site is capable of providing a net gain in biodiversity.
The site is adjacent to a residential area which is served by a full range of utilities. As such, it is anticipated that the development will be able to connect to the necessary infrastructure. A utilities assessment would be carried out at application stage to confirm this.

On land immediately adjacent to the rear gardens of dwellings fronting Gibraltar Lane a planning application for change of use from agricultural to residential garden land was submitted in 1979 (S/0314/79/F). The Council’s online portal does not provide a decision or any documentation relating to this application. Immediately to the north of the site planning permission was granted for 99 dwellings (Ref: S/1027/16/OL). This site is now being built out by Bloor Homes and is referred to as the ‘Phase 1’ site in this form.
Greenfield
Residential development of up to 50 dwellings, open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure.
The site could provide new market housing and a policy compliant provision of affordable housing in a district where there is a pressing and rising housing need. Any scheme would also make provision for accessible open space and landscaping to serve residents of the scheme and the wider community. As shown by the submitted Framework Plan the Phase 2 scheme would directly connect into the Phase 1 scheme (currently under construction), to the north. The Phase 2 scheme would deliver new pedestrian and cycle links through to Gibraltar Lane, to the east. These new connections would also benefit residents of the Phase 1 scheme and residents of existing dwellings on Fen Drayton Road. This would be a quicker and more direct route through to Gibraltar Lane and Swavesey Village College. Subject to compliance with CIL Regulations at the planning application stage any development may also provide planning appropriate obligations towards improving local infrastructure e.g. public transport facilities (including facilities at the Cambridge Guided Busway Stop), schools, GPs and other community facilities.
The dwelling estimate is informed by the submitted Framework Plan which shows an indicative layout and indicative development parcels. The Framework Plan and these forms have been completed based on our client’s knowledge of site conditions/constraints and knowledge of the site conditions/constraints associated with the Phase 1 scheme which they are building out.

Details: According to GOV.UK mapping, in respect of surface water flooding the vast majority is designated as ‘very low’ risk (less than 0.1% chance of a flood). A slither of land along the site’s southern boundary falls within a ‘low risk’ area (0.1-1% chances of a flood). Accordingly to GOV.UK mapping, in respect of flood risk from rivers, the site falls within an area of ‘very low risk’ (less than 0.1% chance of a flood). Based on the GOV.UK mapping the on-site flood risk is very limited. Any planning application would still be supported by a robust Flood Risk Assessment which would detail drainage proposals and the method of surface water disposal from the site; taking into account the need to not increase flood risk elsewhere in the area. Historic England’s online mapping confirms that there are no listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments in the vicinity of the site. There are no built heritage constraints associated with this site, indeed, this was confirmed by the Council in the determination of the Phase 1 planning application. There are no known archaeological constraints on-site, indeed, there were no archaeological constraints which precluding the development of the Phase 1 site. Any planning application for the Phase 2 site would be supported by an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment. The land is currently used for agriculture, as was the Phase 1 site, and is not known to be contaminated. Any planning application would be supported by a site assessment in this regard. In respect of ecological matters, any scheme at the site would deliver biodiversity enhancements and net gains through the delivery of new public open space, planting and a comprehensive landscaping scheme. Indeed, the Phase 1 scheme was approved and has similar site conditions to the Phase 2 site. Any planning application would be supported by a full Habitat Survey. The site is not affected by any statutory ecological designations. There are no known environmental constraints to the development of the site. If constraints were identified through the preparation of a planning application, it is anticipated that adequate mitigation measures can be provided. Indeed, this proved to be the case in respect of the approved Phase 1 site, to the north, which is currently being built out.
It is envisaged that any scheme would be served by the full range of utilities required to serve a residential development of this scale. Indeed, this has been the case for the Phase 1 scheme which is currently being built out. 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.

Also said available next 5 years. The site is available for development now and is under option by a housebuilder. Subject to the completion of the Phase 1 scheme (scheduled for 2021), achieving a site allocation in the Local Plan and all the necessary permissions development would be able to commence.
Bloor Homes (Eastern) are a housebuilder and are promoting the land, as such, the market attractiveness of the site has been established.
The land is currently subject to a covenant which restricts development. Bloor Homes (Eastern) will instigate a process to remove this covenant to ensure residential development can be delivered to achieve the timeframes set out in this form.

Assuming that the site is allocated for residential development in the adopted GCLP bu the end of 2023 (the current LDS Timetable), it is anticipated all the necessary planning consents could be achieved by the end of 2024. On this basis, delivery would likely begin in 2025.

Mixed use – part of the site being used to support accommodation for the homeless; the remainder of the site being used for industrial development (potentially linked to the homeless accommodation scheme e.g. providing training and employment), and/or to support relocation of existing industrial uses from Cowley Road Industrial Park or Nuffield Road Industrial Park as part of the wider North East Cambridge regeneration.
Market and Affordable Housing - Yes – accommodation for the homeless, but would also consider an element of market housing too (possibly to cross subsidise the cost of accommodation for the homeless). Other Forms of Housing - Yes – accommodation for the homeless, but would also consider an element of market housing too (possibly to cross subsidise the cost of accommodation for the homeless). Employment Uses - Yes – to support relocation of existing uses from North East Cambridge. U+I have begun early discussions with a local charity for the homeless – It Takes A City – about the possibility of creating approximately 20 homes for the homeless. Homelessness is a significant issue in Cambridgeshire and charities such as It Takes A City are actively seeking opportunities to help address this challenge. An example of a smaller scheme can be found on Newmarket Road, on the Holy Cross site, which has consent for 6no. modular units for the homeless. A similar, albeit larger scheme, is considered for this site.
Not known at this stage, but will be the subject of further feasibility, viability and site testing for the next consultation stage of the Local Plan.

Sustainable, residential led development, which includes provision of associated infrastructure, community facilities, educational facilities and open green space and landscaping. Vehicular access points (utilising existing farm accesses) onto A1198 and Gransden Road.
Other forms of Housing - Modular Employment Other - Yes – new business space for retail units, start-up units and ‘work from home’ units. All uses considered, subject to a compatible use with wider residential use in area. The proposed development is on existing agricultural land which has no significant planning constraints or environment designations and lies outside of the Green Belt. The site is well connected via the existing road network, with excellent connectivity to the A428, a major road network and the town of Cambourne. The site would provide excellent connections to the proposed new east-west rail station at Cambourne and the Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM) linking Cambourne to Cambridge City Centre. The development would be of a sufficient scale to support public transport provision, provide local shops and services on site. The site could provide new market and affordable housing to contribute to meeting the significant national and local housing need. Additionally, it could also provide business employment land to create opportunities to significantly reduce car travel and reduce carbon emissions.
The proposed site area (outlined in red in the included plan) extends to approximately 121 hectares. In light of South Camb's adopted Local Plan, Policy H/8 proposes a density of 40 dwellings per hectare in new settlements. Therefore, as the site is relatively unconstrained, we have assumed 70% of the site is deliverable, allowing for green infrastructure, public open space, infrastructure provision and education, the site has the potential to deliver approximately 3,800 residential dwellings. If approximately 6-7 hectares were provided, this would reduce the residential element to approximately 3,120 dwellings. The site is subject to a current technical appraisal to confirm the above numbers and provision of employment land.

Indicative access points are shown on the attached plan marked with a yellow star. Where possible, the existing farm accesses will be improved to provide site access. There is an existing access spur off the southern Caxton bypass roundabout into the site, which could be utilised and upgraded. The exact location and type of junctions required to serve the proposed development will be subject to advice from highways consultants and detailed discussions with the Highways Authority.
The site is relatively unconstrained and level ground although the eastern parcel does slope down. The ground is stable and there are no known constraints or physical constraints to the development.
There are no known constraints. The Bourn Brook runs through the middle of the eastern parcel, however this has not been known to overflow onto this land. The majority of the land is within Flood Zone 1. The site is well drained.
All mains utilities would need to be connected to the site to serve the proposed development. There is an electricity pylon running across the site, marked on the map in black.
All mains utilities would need to be connected to the site to serve the proposed development. There is an electricity pylon running across the site, marked on the map in black.
Also next 6-10 years and 10+ years. If the site is allocated for development, we assume it would taken some time from adoption of the plan to prepare a strategic masterplan for the site, an outline planning application and subsequent reserved matters application. Work on a strategic masterplan would be undertaken during the preparation of the Local Plan to demonstrate the site is available, suitable and deliverable, whilst identifying the site’s capacities in housing numbers to help meet the Local Plan’s growing requirement to deliver the housing needs. The site is owned by one landowner, which indicates deliverability and helps to bring the land and housing forward in the plan period.
This area is of particular interest in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc and it is strategically located next to the sustainable settlement of Cambourne, already providing existing employment and infrastructure connectivity. Additionally, the site is located next to the proposed eastwest rail link and the proposed new station at Cambourne. Pedestrian and cycle links could be provided to the new train station. The site can be delivered as a whole as it is in a single ownership

It would make sense for this area to be included within the village framework because: Little Gransden is an infill only village, and virtually all available land has been built upon – it therefore makes sense to include the area between 12a and 14 Primrose Hill within the framework. The site could have been developed when numbers 14–26 Primrose Hill were built shortly after the year 2000. Housing developments in Primrose Hill and more recently six new houses in The Drift (numbers 5, 7, 9, 11, 22, 24) have radically altered the character of the area. Potential development of the identified small area within the current heart of the village would give a unique and exciting opportunity for the Parish Council and the community to have a meaningful influence on the best way to meet village housing needs at some point in the future

Residential Development.
The site can deliver approximately 72 to 87 new homes, 40% of which would be affordable. The development would provide on-site open space.
72 to 87 residential units has been assumed on the basis of Great Shelford being a Rural Centre in accordance with Policy S/9 of the South Cambs 2018 adopted Local Plan. Policy H/8 provides a guide of an average net density of 30 dwellings per hectare in Minor Rural Centres. However, due to the sustainable location and nature of the site a higher density of up to 40 dwellings per hectare would be appropriate.

There are no significant constraints at the site, which could prevent residential development at the site being delivered. We have outlined other constraints which may need to be considered when developing the site.
No uploaded files for public display
Access to/from the site would be taken from Shelford Road or Cambridge Road (to the north) or Babraham Road (to the east).
The site is flat. There are no slopes, significant changes in ground levels or unstable ground on the site which could constrain its development in whole or part.
The site is in Flood Zone 1, which is at the lowest risk of flooding. As such, residential development is appropriate in this location. Any planning application would be accompanied by a Drainage Strategy which would outline how surface and foul water would be managed. The site comprises greenfield land, which is unlikely to be contaminated. The site is an arable field and does not appear to have any biodiversity value. This would be subject to an assessment as part of any planning application and any development at the site would have the potential to enhance biodiversity at and adjacent to the site. The site is not located adjacent to any heritage assets, including Listed buildings or conservation areas, which could restrict the scope and extent of development at the site. Any development at the site may need to be accompanied by an archaeological assessment, but there is no reason to believe that this would limit or prevent development at the site. The site is located adjacent to the existing development framework for Fulbourn and it is considered that connections can be made to existing services – including electricity, gas, sewerage, telecommunications and water. There are some electricity poles which pass over the site, but these could easily be relocated and/or diverted. There are no public rights of way across or adjacent to the site. Given the above there are no environmental constraints at or adjacent to the site which could constrain development at the site, in whole or part.

The site is not subject to a lease or tenancy and the owner is promoting it in the call for sites process now, with a view to development.
We consider that Fulbourn is an attractive place to live and has a buoyant housing market. As such, we consider that a developer could easily be found to deliver the site.

The site is located within Fen Ditton Conservation Area, and the site frontage is currently protected as an Important Countryside Frontage. It is likely that housing would be located on part of the site to reflect the current policy designations at the site. The form and content of the promoted development has not been determined at this stage. The site could provide housing and affordable housing and potentially self-build plots. The land could also accommodate green infrastructure including open space and ecological enhancements in conjunction with development.
The proposed development would provide affordable housing to meet local needs of the village; in 2018 there was an identified need for 12 affordable dwellings in Fen Ditton for those with a local connection to the village – see South Cambridgeshire District Council's 'Housing Statistical Information Leaflet' (December 2018). The proposed development would support the existing services and facilities in Fen Ditton. The proposed development could include open space with public access, and ecological enhancement.
Not determined at this stage.

There is an existing access to the paddock at the junction of Ditton Lane and High Ditch Road. A new vehicular access would need to be provided to accommodate the proposed development, but sufficient land is available to accommodate a safe vehicular and pedestrian access with suitable visibility splays. An assessment of the access arrangements will need to be undertaken.
Not Specified.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flooding. An ecological assessment of the site will need to be undertaken. The proposed development will seek to retain any ecological features on site and include mitigation measures and ecological enhancement measures within the design and layout. A tree survey and arboricultural impact assessment will need to be undertaken because there are trees and hedgerows at the site boundary. The existing trees are protected because they are located in the Conservation Area. The trees and hedgerows could be retained as part of the proposed development. The site is located within Fen Ditton Conservation Area. The design of the proposed development will be important in order to protect and enhance this heritage asset. No.6 High Ditch Road (Thatched Cottage) is a Grade II Listed Building, and its setting will need to be protected and enhanced by development at the site. It would be possible to locate the proposed dwellings at the site to avoid the setting of this heritage asset.
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 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 it is both available and deliverable for development. The site will need to be allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, and the timetable for this has informed the assessment of when the site is available.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, because other sites in Fen Ditton have been subject to strong demand from developers and housebuilders.
