Housing Need

• National Policy requires every council to identify enough suitable land to provide housing for 5 years. Councils are required by the government to significantly boost the supply of housing and to make planning decisions in the light of a presumption in favour of sustainable development.

• The 2011-2031 dwelling target for East Cambridgeshire is identified as 13,000 by the East Cambridgeshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment. This amounts to 650 dwellings per year.

• According to the East Cambridgeshire ‘Core Strategy Development Plan Document’ at current planned growth levels it will not be possible to meet the dwelling targets for the district solely from previously developed land and green field housing sites will be needed.

Why is the site suitable for development? Settlements like Haddenham provide opportunities to help meet the housing targets. Haddenham is a designated key service centre within the adopted core strategy and is suitable for accommodating modest growth. The site is sustainably located with easy access to Ely town centre and has a range of services such as primary schools, existing community amenities and public transport network. 03 Land off Wilburton Road, Haddenham CONSTRAINTS & OPPORTUNITIES

Visual Analysis

The visual analysis has identified the following points:

The surrounding topography shows the village of Haddenham is located on a ridge. The proposed site is located to the south east of the village centre on a slope that falls to the south. The land is Haddenham 1 currently used as arable farmland and consists of two field parcels.

2 Existing hedgerow and tree enclosure surrounding the site’s boundary and along footpaths and roads to the south and west of the site 3 largely results in a visually well contained area with few direct views to any potential development. Retention and enhancement of this vegetation will help further filter views into the development.

To the north west boundary the site is located adjacent to an existing residential area. From these dwellings, views can be achieved across the proposed site, however this is limited to a relatively small number of properties.
