The site is bounded to the east by the open frontage onto High Street.
No answer given
The site lies within the Green Belt and adjacent to the settlement framework. The eastern boundary of the site at the High Street is designated as ‘Important Countryside Frontage’. A section of the western side of the site lies within Flood Zone 2 and 3 with the eastern section of the site lying within Flood Zone 1. Any development proposals coming forward would look to alleviate any of the potential flooding issues at the site. The provision for public open space on the site would be located within the Flood Zone 3 section of the site to the west. Whilst the residential development proposals would be focussed within the section of the site which falls into Flood Zone 1; where residential development should be directed. There are no heritage assets within the site, however, there are two Grade II Listed Buildings within proximity of the site, 3 although there is existing residential development between the assets and the site. There are no ecological designations on or in proximity to the site. There is no known contamination at the site.

Access permitted under S/0460/17/FL See enclosed site plan for consent granted
Site falls within Conservation Area designation but that should not prevent development coming forward in this location - see representation With planning permission having been granted for that part of the Conservation Area in the above application, the settlement boundary should be extended to include the promoted site. We consider this to be a logical 3 extension to permission granted. The land is well defined by well treed boundaries and the scale and nature of proposed development as shown in the accompanying plan is entirely appropriate in our view having regard to the minimal impact on the surrounding area given the substantial landscaping that exists on the field boundaries and which is planned to be retained as part of any new housing scheme
Provision can be made to link up with existing utilities given existing and proposed new development granted planning permission immediately to the north.

- A mixed used development is proposed for this site - comprising employment to west and residential to east - 10 ha in total - Incorporate the Waterbeach to Cambridge public transport and active travel routes as part of the development and provide buffer zones and additional tree planting and open space - Employment to the west - approximately 4ha - Residential - approximately 120 dwellings (30dph based on 4ha) including affordable dwellings in accordance with prevailing policy, with open space and landscaping. - Upgraded access from Denny End Road. 2025 Update: Development of 150 - 250 residential dwellings.
Sustainable villages such as Waterbeach, should be prioritised for new residential and employment development which is of a sufficient scale to take advantage of the existing and proposed transport corridors and can be master planned to sufficiently incorporate a mix of uses including commercial uses and dwellings, open space, further facilities and landscaping. Allocation of the site would represent a logical extension to Waterbeach, in a sustainable location which is accessible in terms of public transport and key facilities. The site is well located in relation to the key village services and facilities of Waterbeach Allocation of the site for residential and employment use would have many benefits for the local and wider area, providing additional jobs and housing and providing opportunity for people to live in sustainable locations, closer to their employment, on main transport links, i.e. the AlO, and the Waterbeach to Cambridge public transport and active travel routes. Furthermore, the housing element will provide a mix of all types of housing is required to cater for all needs including - market and affordable houses, starter homes, homes suitable for downsizing i.e. bungalows etc. The proposed development would provide additional employment and housing, including affordable housing and starter homes for Waterbeach. Due to the Greenbelt, Waterbeach has limited opportunities for infill development within the settlement boundary, and as such a very limited amount of housing and affordable housing will have been provided in the village in recent years. The proposed development would include open space and landscaping, which would also provide ecological and biodiversity enhancement sits. The proposed development would support existing facilities and services in Waterbeach including convenience stores, public houses and bus services.

There is an existing vehicular access to the site from Denny End Road. The current access will be upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. An assessment of the access arrangements can be undertaken to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access can be provided for the proposed development.
No - the site is relatively flat
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 which means it has a low probability of flood risk. The proposed development would include an appropriate sustainable drainage strategy to manage surface water drainage.
Yes, the site has access to key utilities
The proposed development will need to provide new utilities infrastructure, but there are services to the neighbouring urban area and so new connections will be possible.
The site is promoted by a willing landowner, and is available for development. However, the site will need to be released from the Green Belt and allocated for development through the Greater Cambridge Local Plan process before it will be available for development.
It is anticipated that the site will be attractive to the market, due to its location within Waterbeach and in close proximity to Cambridge as well as existing and planned public transport links.
