a. Provision of a substantial landscape buffer on eastern and southern boundaries;
b. Appropriate provision to link to the existing bridleway forming part of the wider Highfields development site;
c. Transport capacity assessments will be required at local junctions and the impact of Bourn Airfield and other committed/allocated sites must be considered and links to proposed public transport links enabled; and

Supporting information
This greenfield site adjacent to existing development is in close proximity to the proposed Cambourne to Cambridge Public Transport Corridor stop and has recently had planning permission which has subsequently lapsed. There is currently an undetermined planning application for 66 homes awaiting decision on this site (22/04215/FUL, phase 2) and the allocation boundary has been amended to only include phase 2. The proposed mitigation measures are required to ensure no unacceptable adverse impacts to landscape character and the historic environment, requiring a landscape buffer to the east and southern boundaries of the site.
