  2. Development proposals should retain and enhance the treescape buffer within the southern and eastern sides of the site;
  3. Access to the site should be via the existing Norman Way road, and not an additional access onto Longstanton Road; and

Supporting information

3.5.25. This 1.7 hectare allocation comprises an area of undeveloped land within the Norman Way Industrial Estate, providing an opportunity to accommodate approximately 6,100 square metres of employment space that will positively respond to the character of the surrounding area, including the setting of nearby heritage assets Over Mill and Over Windmill. The retention and enhancement of the treescape will ensure that new development has a positive impact upon its wider landscape setting whilst site access will need to be managed through the existing industrial estate. Given the known archaeological assets in this area, further archaeological investigation and work will be required as part of any development proposal.
