Site Record Reports ................................................................................................................ 40 4 1. Introduction 1.1. To meet East Cambridgeshire’s development needs, the Local Plan identifies sites that are suitable and available to accommodate new development. Sites proposed for development in the Local Plan are referred to as “site allocations”. 1.2. Sites submitted during two rounds of Local Plan consultation, along with other suitable and available sites known to the Council, provided a ‘pool’ of potential sites from which the Council could select site allocations for inclusion in the Local Plan. Section 2 provides a summary of the methodology used in assessing sites. Section 3 discusses the role of other relevant considerations in assessing sites, such as the overall spatial distribution of growth. 1.3. The primary purpose of this report is to outline the Council’s assessment of sites, and present the reasons for each site’s selection or rejection from the Local Plan process. Section 4 is organised alphabetically by parish and presents site assessment findings for each site considered. Each site assessment report includes a map to identify the site’s location, and scoring against the assessment criteria. 5 2. Methodology Background ‘Pool’ of sites 2.1. In February and March 2016, the Council published the Preliminary Draft Local Plan (PDLP) for consultation. As part of this public consultation, individuals and organisation were invited to suggest sites for potential inclusion in the Local Plan. 2.2. To ensure the process of submitting sites was straight-forward, respondents were encouraged to complete a short form, titled Form B: Site Suggestion Form. The Call for Sites exercise generated a good deal of interest. Principally, responses were received from local landowners, agents, developers and house- builders, and also parish councils. 2.3. During consultation on the Further Draft Local Plan (Jan – Feb 2017), the Council invited further site submissions (referred to as Additional Site Suggestions). 2.4. In addition to sites received during the consultation exercise, the Strategic Planning Team also considered the following sites: Existing Local Plan 2015 site allocations which are undeveloped and do not have planning permission; Sites with extant planning permission, or resolution to grant planning permission, for 10 or more dwellings; and Existing business parks / areas of employment not currently allocated by the Local Plan 2015. 2.5. There was a general presumption that existing Local Plan 2015 site allocations would be carried forward as they have previously been tested through the planning process and demonstrated to be suitable.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council
    Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council East Cambridgeshire - Conservative Party Response from South East Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (SECCA) Summary 1. We believe that single Member Divisions provide for the most effective local government in East Cambridgeshire, giving greater clarity to the electorate and to City, Town and Parish Councils and other local organisations. 2. Our preferred scenario (scenario 1) is based on 63 Members, meaning that 9 will be in East Cambridgeshire. This proposed scenario allows for provision of single Member Divisions, achieves good electoral equality, provides for convenient and effective local government and offers the best solution, by some margin, in terms of reflecting community interests and identity. 2.1. We strongly believe that the Boundary Commission’s proposal for two 2 Member Divisions (within the 61 Member scenario) has made serious compromises to both community interests and identity and to convenient and effective local government, markedly so for the proposed Littleport West Division (Division 16). The geographical size and marked difference in service needs of different parts of this Division could cause conflict in Members’ ability to represent the whole of the Division effectively. 2.2. Sutton, and particularly the villages to the south of Sutton (Wentworth, Witchford, Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton, Stretham and Little Thetford) are totally remote from Littleport - geographically (residents of those areas look to Ely and Cambridge and do not use or travel to Littleport), culturally (residents of those areas do not link themselves in any way to Littleport), demographically and in terms of service need (educational, economic and health and wellbeing needs are markedly different).

  • Adjacent Parishes of Haddenham, Wilburton, Stretham, St. Mary's, Ely, ·Witch· Ford, Wentworth, and Thetford, Have a Right of Common on the Remainder
    HADDENHAM: PARISH. 499 adjacent parishes of Haddenham, Wilburton, Stretham, St. Mary's, Ely, ·witch· ford, Wentworth, and Thetford, have a right of common on the remainder. HADDENHAM: PARISH. The boundaries of this extensive parish are formed principally by the river Ouse, Ol" the Old west river, which divides the isle from Cambridgeshire on the south, Huntingdonshire on the west, Sutton and Wentworth on the north, and Wilbur­ ton and Grunty fen on the east. It contains 9,530 acres; its population in 1801, was 1090; in 1831, 1929: and in 1841, 2103 souls, including 143 persons attending the village feast. The amount of assessed property is£ 13,236. 'J.'he parish is divided into two districts, Haddenham-end and Linden-end, and it has two hamlets, Hill·row and Aldreth. The land consisting of field and fen, is of a very superior quality, and the principal proprietors of the soil are, the Earl of Hardwicke, Richard Brown, "Esq., and vVilliam Martin, Esq. Manors. The principal manor, in ancient times was that of Linden, wl1ich with its appendages of Haddenhnm and Hill, was purchased for the abbot and convent of Ely, by Ethelwold, bishop of Winchester, and abbot Brithnoth. At tl1e distribution of the manors between the bishop nud monks, when the convent was raised to the dignity of a cathedral, (see page 447) this manor was assigned to the bishop, and continued attached to the see till alienated by bishop Helon, in 1600. In 1632 it belonged to the earl of Suffolk, and it was afterwards in the family of March, who had been possessed of another manor here, called Graies, as early as the year 1614.
