DB Group confirms their intention to continue operating from their existing site at Bourn Airfield. Additionally, the company has expansion plans which include a volumetric truck operation to supply concrete directly to customers. Activity at their existing site at Bourn associated with this operation would be external and would entail filling the various hoppers on the vehicle. This would require at least one further silo on site and the use of a mechanical loader to take aggregates and sand from external storage bays. These operations have the potential to increase the level of noise generated at the site and would also increase HGV movements.

The company currently employs 27 full time staff on site with a further 40 being primarily field based and visiting the site approximately once a week. The company's expansion plans have the potential to create a further 16 jobs on site in the relatively near term and potentially more in the future.

The proposed development of Bourn Airfield New Village must therefore ensure that full account is taken of the existing operations at the site and that future development will not hamper their expansion plans.
