Bourn Airfield New Village

The outline application is currently under consideration. The trajectory strategy identifies that the outline consent will be issued in 2019 and that development will begin in 2020, with houses themselves delivered from 2022. Whilst the current strategy provides 2 years for the first housing to be delivered, there is a particular risk of delay which should be more appropriately considered within the trajectory and delivery strategy. The strategy establishes that this site will deliver up to 300 homes per year, which is not practical or realistic delivery rate. The delivery of these 300 dwellings per year also includes 150 dwellings from Cambourne West. Provides a more robust position given that these numbers are from separate sites, but does give rise to issues regarding a dilution in demand and competing in same market.
