Great Abington LSA Estate - Designating a Neighbourhood Area - June 2016
Representation ID: 166247

Respondent: Mr Tony Dron
Unique history of the LSA site at Great Abington has resulted in a very special place of great charm. It is a wonderful place in which to live. Any major development would, almost certainly, destroy its character.
In particular, any proposal to build several dwellings on even one of the plots should be resisted very strongly.
Those living here appear to favour some modest development, such as substantial extensions to the original houses and conversion of existing outbuildings into dwellings, up to a maximum of one per plot. Anything more than that, in our opinion, would bring about the loss of this remarkable place.
My wife and I live within the former Land Settlement Association area at Great Abington.
The unique history of the LSA site at Great Abington has resulted in a very special place of great charm. It is a wonderful place in which to live. Any major development would, almost certainly, destroy its character.
In particular, any proposal to build several dwellings on even one of the 62 plots - including those with access only from the Pampisford Road public highway - should be resisted very strongly.
The democratic will of those living here appears to favour some modest development, such as substantial extensions to the original houses and the possible conversion of existing outbuildings into dwellings, up to a maximum of one per plot. Anything more than that, in our opinion, would bring about the loss of this remarkable place.
