Re: S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way and Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
This proposed site lies within the Green Belt. Very special circumstances need to be demonstrated to release this protected Green Belt land, none of which have been presented. There are more suitable sites that are not protected by Green Belt policy, and these sites should be prioritised. In addition there are many other reasons that this site is unsuitable for housing development, including impact on the local highway network (it does not have the capacity unless major road improvements are secured), detrimental impact on biodiversity, oversubscribed local schools.
