The proposal is to create a New South Cambridgeshire Village with its own identity, but which supports the surrounding villages of Barrington, Foxton and Shepreth by providing a new transport hub as well as enhanced local services and facilities. The New Village could act as a central hub and provide significant new services, facilities and community benefits. The proposals aim to establish a coherent mix of uses that will bring value and benefit to the local area.
The proposal allows for a number of opportunities to bring benefits to the area and make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of the existing and future community. The benefits could comprise: - An approach to work collaboratively and shape the proposals with the involvement of the community and stakeholders. - To be part of the green and sustainable agenda, to strive for homes that are built to the highest environmental standards. - A development that is not in the greenbelt. - To fully utilise the opportunity to travel by train - To enhance pedestrian and cycle movement across the A10 and better connect local communities including contribution to the delivery of a new A10 crossing - Increased pedestrian and cycle access into and through countryside - To work with the local community to establish what services and facilities the development could introduce or support; such as open space, play space, sports facilities, community space and education. - Investment into the villages - Development can bring about significant investment into a local area, to enhance the health and wellbeing of the locality. A scale of development that can afford to deliver benefits. - Providing new development adjacent to Foxton in a manner that will respect the existing character and identity of the villages but close enough to provide new facilities for the existing community - Introducing new jobs and adding to the range of jobs available - giving people a better chance of living and working in the same area. An opportunity to travel by train to get to work. - A mix of housing - to be able to provide for a greater range of housing options in the local area; such as smaller, more affordable homes, homes for the elderly and long-term private rented homes. 2025 update: Potential for Foxton Travel Hub
- Residential (Class C3), which could provide between 900-1800 dwellings at an average density of 30-40 dwellings per hectare including affordable homes; - Public open space, including the creation of an informal amenity area which could include play facilities, ecological habitat creation and public art. - The employment area is likely to be for B1 (office, research and development uses). The employment area is expected to provide for a variety of spaces with different size buildings and different types of spaces with different size buildings and different types of spaces to cater for a wide range of needs and be able to offer space for start-up companies that would need larger buildings and employ more people. The employment area currently earmarked for the development would be an area of 2 hectares, with some 10,000 - 20, 000 sqm of floorspace. The amount and type of employment floorspace will be refined through further masterplan development and stakeholder engagement. 2025: update - Increased pedestrian/cycling links to better connect the surrounding villages - A transport hub including mixed-use area with parking, cycle facilities, transport information and community uses (class D1) to support the local villages. 2025 update: minimum number of residential units- 1500/ maximum number of residential units-2000. Minimum employment floorspace (in sqm)- 5,000/Maximum employment floorspace (in sqm)- 10,000

There is an existing farm access to the northern part of the site from Barrington Road. It is proposed to create new accesses from Barrington Road and the A10 to the part of the site to the south. The development of the site would contribute to the implementation of a Foxton level crossing by-pass scheme. Initial discussions with the Greater Cambridge Partnership and Homes England have already taken place to this end.

The site lies within Flood Zone 1 and is therefore not at risk of flooding. The site lies within a Waste Water Treatment Safeguarding Area and a Minerals Safeguarding Area. Reports are being prepared by Axis to consider the implications of the waste water treatment plant to the north of the site and the feasibility for mineral extraction. There are no other known risks or constraints which could constrain the development of the site.
The site has access to key utilities
Utilities can be accessed from the adjacent streets/built up areas.
The site is available now and all landowners support the proposed allocation.
The site is in a highly attractive location, on one of the key transport corridors into Cambridge with plans for improvements to both road and rail. It is well connected to the city of Cambridge by all modes including the upgraded A10 cycleway.
