Representation Summary:

Summary: Land east of Ridgeway and Old Pinewood Way, Papworth Everard (HELAA site 40439)

Small scale housing allocations should be made in the more sustainable villages within the rest of the rural area, because those villages are accessible by sustainable modes of transport, there is a need to support the existing services and facilities within those villages, and there is an identified need for affordable housing in those villages which would not be met via other means.

S/SH: Settlement hierarchy

Representation ID: 57350

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Bloor Homes Eastern

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Land to the east of Ridgeway and Old Pinewood Way, Papworth Everard (HELAA site 40439)

It is requested that a capacity assessment is undertaken of all villages in South Cambridgeshire to determine which potential housing sites might be deliverable or developable during the plan period to 2041, and the number of dwellings that might be delivered from each of those sites.

It is requested that the site size limits for each category of village are deleted and replaced with a general policy that supports development within existing settlement boundaries, in conjunction with a revised development strategy that allocates suitable sites on the edge of existing sustainable villages including at Papworth Everard.

S/SB: Settlement boundaries

Representation ID: 57352

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Bloor Homes Eastern

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Land east of Ridgeway and Old Pinewood Way, Papworth Everard (HELAA Site 40439)

It is considered that the emerging GCLP should seek to allocate suitable sites on the edge of existing sustainable villages and to adjust the settlement boundary to accommodate those allocations. The site promoted by Bloor Homes Eastern at land east of Ridgeway and Old Pinewood Way, Papworth Everard is available for development of housing and should be allocated. There is a need for additional housing sites in the more sustainable villages to support existing services and facilities and to meet identified affordable housing needs in those villages.

Representation Summary:

Land east of Ridgeway and Old Pinewood Way, Papworth Everard (HELAA Site 40439)

Medium scale housing allocations should be made in the more sustainable villages within the rest of the rural area, including Papworth Everard, because those villages are accessible by sustainable modes of transport, there is a need to support the existing services and facilities within those villages, and there is an identified need for affordable housing in those villages which would not be met via other means.

Sustainability Appraisal

Representation ID: 58179

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Bloor Homes Eastern

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

It is considered that the Sustainability Appraisal has not sought to make the emerging GCLP more sustainable, and in respect of villages it appears that the assessment against sustainability objectives is not robust because it does not critically review the evidence provided by the Councils. For example, some villages have good access by sustainable modes of transport and contain a good range of services and facilities, there is an identified need for affordable housing in most villages which is ignored in the assessment process, and there is limited capacity within existing settlement boundaries for villages to accommodate additional development.
