It is noted that the Council intends to review/ redraw the settlement boundaries under Policy S/SB. The settlement boundary of Sawston should be amended to include land adjacent Spring House, Church Lane, Sawston. This plot was leftover after the residential development along St Marys Road and should be included to correctly ‘round’ off the settlement edge. Currently the settlement boundary cuts through our client’s land which demonstrates that historically there has been an error in terms of the mapping of the boundary. A plan is attached showing the proposed amendment to the settlement boundary. This infill plot should be allowed to come forward for a self-build opportunity which South Cambridgeshire promote as a vanguard authority for self-build.

The site is also currently designated within the Green Belt and is incorrectly shown as part of the Registered Park and Garden associated with Sawston Hall. Representations have therefore been made in relation to Policy GP/GB on this matter.
