Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

S/JH: New jobs and homes

Representation ID: 58151

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Hill Residential

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

OBJECT
It is suggested that the emerging GCLP should have selected the higher growth level option to support economic growth, address housing affordability, and reduce in-commuting. The higher growth level option will require infrastructure funding, but there are existing transport improvements already planned for Greater Cambridge and further investment in infrastructure (e.g. water and electricity) will need to be secured as part of the Oxford to Cambridge Arc.

Requested Change

It is requested that housing and jobs requirements in Policy S/JH are based on delivering the higher growth level option.

S/SB: Settlement boundaries

Representation ID: 58152

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Hill Residential

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Land to north west of Balsham Road, Linton (HELAA site 40411)

The Councils have not undertaken an assessment of the capacity of land within the existing settlement boundaries of villages to accommodate additional development. It is likely that such an assessment would demonstrate that the capacity is limited.

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 Hill Residential at land east of Balsham Road in Fulbourn is suitable and available for housing, and should be allocated for development.

S/RRA: Allocations in the rest of the rural area

Representation ID: 58154

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Hill Residential

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Land east of Balsham Road in Fulbourn (HELAA Site 40271)

The promoted development by Hill Residential at Balsham Road in Fulbourn would include housing and affordable housing to meet local needs of the village.

For these reasons, additional small scale housing allocations should be made in the more sustainable villages within the rest of the rural area, including Fulbourn, because it is accessible by sustainable modes of transport, it is well related to employment opportunities, there is a need to support the existing services and facilities within the village, and there is an identified need for affordable housing in the villages which would only be partially met by other developments.

S/DS: Development strategy

Representation ID: 58629

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Hill Residential

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Land east of Balsham Road, Fulbourn (HELAA site 40271)

Small scale housing allocations should be made in the more sustainable villages in the rural area on the edge of Cambridge including at Fulbourn, because it is accessible by sustainable modes of transport, there is a need to support the existing services and facilities within the villages, and there is an identified need for affordable housing in the villages which would only partially be met by other developments.

The land east of Balsham Road in Fulbourn should be released from the Green Belt and allocated in emerging GCLP for residential development.
