Draft policy 2 and the draft plan do not recognise that land to the rear of Strawberry Farm, Great Abington has been granted outline planning permission. The development was considered by the Council to be sustainably located in relation to local services and facilities and was deemed not to result in material harm to the character of the countryside. Not to recognise this means that the plan fails to meet the basic condition of contributing to the achievement of sustainable development.

Policy 2 is tantamount to an allocation of the site not for 8 or more dwellings but for a single dwelling and there is a lack of explanation for this given that release of the site for residential development has been found acceptable in planning terms.

It is considered that Policy 2 should be re-drafted to reflect the current and future prospect for residential development on this site or Land to the Rear of Strawberry Farm should be excluded from the remit of Policy 2 altogether.
