  • A Short Guide for Applicants
    Fen Drayton Former Land Settlement Association Estate SPD: A Short Guide for Applicants www.scambs.gov.uk/ldf/spds Fen Drayton Former LSA Estate SPD Short Guide for Applicants Background (see Chapters 1 & 2) The Fen Drayton former LSA estate is located to the south west of the village of Fen Drayton, immediately north of the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon. In January 2010, the Council adopted its Site Specific Policies DPD that contains an innovative planning policy for the Fen Drayton former LSA estate. Policy SP/11 allows the reuse or redevelopment of former agricultural buildings (excluding glasshouses) for experimental and groundbreaking forms of sustainable living, provided that the development does not occupy a larger footprint than the existing buildings. To provide practical advice and guidance for applicants on how to meet the requirements of the policy, the Council has prepared a Supplementary Planning Document. The Fen Drayton Former LSA Estate SPD was adopted in May 2011. Identifying Eligible Buildings for Reuse or Redevelopment (see Chapter 4) All new development proposed must be able to be incorporated within the footprint of the eligible buildings. Building Footprint The footprint of a building is the area of land physically occupied by the building but excluding any temporary buildings or hardstandings. It does not take account of the number of storeys. Eligible Buildings (see Appendices 2 & 3) The Council has undertaken a survey of buildings and structures within the former LSA estate and has categorised each building as eligible, non- eligible or not surveyed. For a building to be eligible, it must: be a structure that has a roof and 3 or more walls, has a physical attachment to the ground and cannot easily be moved from the site or around the site; have been erected for agricultural purposes or have been formally changed to an agricultural use; not have been formally changed to a non-agricultural use; and have been standing on 28 January 2010.
