S/RSC/HW Land between Hinton Way/Mingle Lane, Great Shelford
This land is currently within the green belt and expansion was dismissed in the last local plan -adverse impact on green belt-local traffic flow-facilities (schools, dentists, doctors) and limited water supply. There appear to be no exceptional circumstances to allow release of this green belt land. If this development were to go ahead it would lose the village identity of shelfords and stapleford. With massive housing projects around cambridge there is no logical reason to build on this green belt site - what justifiable exceptional circumstances can there be? It appears to be purely a commercial plan and financially driven.
