Policy S/EOC: Other site allocations on the edge of Cambridge

The adopted 2018 Local Plans allocate developments on the north west edge of Cambridge, referred to as Darwin Green.  The part of the site in Cambridge has outline planning permission, and some parcels have detailed planning permission or are under construction. The land in South Cambridgeshire has yet to gain planning permission. Given the site will still be coming forward when the new plan is adopted it is proposed to carry forward the allocations into the new plan.

Sites allocated North and South of Worts’ Causeway for 430 new homes have outline planning permission. The sites are likely to have been completed when the new plan is adopted, therefore the need for the allocations to be carried forward will be kept under review.

Land is allocated for business uses at Fulbourn Road on the eastern edge of Cambridge in both adopted plans. This is partly under construction, and there are proposals being considered for the remainder. The need for the allocations to be carried forward will be kept under review.

Existing allocations at Cambridge Southern Fringe, including Clay Farm, Glebe Farm, and Trumpington Meadows, are likely to be built out by the time the plan is adopted, therefore the existing plan policies will no longer be required. The new homes on the existing allocation at Bell School have been completed, however, the new student accommodation also included within this allocation has not yet been started. The need for the allocation at Bell School will be kept under review.

There was no specific consultation on this issue in the First Conversation consultation.

No Policy – Not considered a reasonable alternative as this would not provide a context for the future development of these sites whilst they are still being developed.

  Short form for the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, which sets out policies to guide the future development of Greater Cambridge. It also sets out where future development will take place, and identifies land for new housing, community facilities, shops and employment. It is the key document use to determine planning applications for new development in the Greater Cambridge area.

Given the opportunity nature of these sites they do not include any particular levels of development and are not counted towards meeting our needs.
