It remains an open question how these events affected the genetic composition of the current British population. Here, we present whole-genome sequences from 10 individuals excavated close to Cambridge in the East of England, ranging from the late Iron Age to the middle Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Land at Hinxton Response to Matters and Issues Raised by the Inspector
    M4/23548 Land at Hinxton Response to matters and issues raised by the Inspector Representation prepared by Terence O’Rourke on behalf of Hinxton Land Ltd Matter 4 Employment and retail c. Will the proposed amounts of land for economic development uses meet the needs for all foreseeable types of economic development? Summary 1. The employment land allocations will not meet all foreseeable types of economic development over the plan period. 2. The pressure for growth is significant to the South of Cambridge where most of the major high technology research facilities are located. 3. E/9 provides flexibility for delivering additional economic development over the plan period in the most sustainable locations and where businesses want to locate. These developments can be delivered in addition to, and in parallel with, the allocated sites over the plan period. Economic need and Policy E/9 During the consultation on the submission version of the local plan, Hinxton Land Ltd supported the inclusion of Policy E/9 (ID 60757, 60758) and Policy E/10 in principle (60759). These policies will facilitate the delivery of cluster-related economic development in sustainable locations during the plan period, which will help to maintain the Cambridge area as one of the leading concentrations of high technology and research clusters in the UK. Matter 4 c is relevant to these earlier representations prepared by Hinxton Land Ltd. We do not consider that the proposed amount of land allocated for economic development will meet the needs for all foreseeable types of economic development. Hinxton Land Ltd has not sought an allocation in the current plan, because policy E/9 provides policy support to deliver cluster-related development in sustainable locations, such as to the south of Cambridge on land beyond the green belt, in a flexible manner and in response to market demand.

  • 1 | Page Statement from Hinxton and Other South Cambridgeshire Parish Councils to the Uttlesford District Council Planning Polic
    Statement from Hinxton and other South Cambridgeshire Parish Councils to the Uttlesford District Council Planning Policy Working Group meeting, Thursday 31 May 2018 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed North Uttlesford Garden Community. Although I speak for Hinxton, my comments are fully supported by the chairs of the parish councils of Ickleton, Duxford, Pampisford, Whittlesford, Little Abington, and Great Abington - that is, by all those parishes in South Cambridgeshire that are directly affected. It is clear that Uttlesford is not proud of this proposed new town. You could not have pushed it further away. More than half of its edge is actually defined by the Essex-Cambridge county boundary. What a bizarre site for a town purporting to provide homes for people working in Uttlesford! Whatever the short-term political convenience of this choice, it has profound long-term implications for our parishes. We abut on half the proposed new town boundary, but we shall have to bear far, far more than half of the infrastructural and amenity costs. This is because the town would be high in our River Cam watershed, with all the flooding and pollution management implications bearing on our down-stream villages. It is because the town would be on top of the main aquifers of our water supplier, Cambridge Water, but not of yours, Affinity Water. It is because the traffic for the new town cannot possibly rely on the winding road to Saffron Walden. It will overwhelmingly be forced onto the already congested roads of South Cambridgeshire. It is because, over the years while the new town grows, the costs of its health, education and other needs will unavoidably be borne by our nearby communities in South Cambridgeshire.

  • This Exhibition Introduces the Role That the Wellcome Genome Campus
    Welcome to our exhibition about the future plans for the Wellcome Genome Campus. This exhibition introduces the role that the Wellcome Genome Campus has played in developing the science of genomics and biodata and how we want to ensure the Campus stays at the forefront of this area of scientific research. We have been working with a wide ranging technical team to start to develop our ideas about how the Campus could grow and deliver benefits for both our scientific community and the surrounding area over the next 25 years. This is the start of process of consultation with the local Parishes to help shape our proposals. We look forward to talking to you about our ideas in more detail. THE WELLCOME TRUST “Good health makes life better. We want to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive.” Wellcome exists to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive. Wellcome is a global charitable foundation, both politically and financially independent. It supports scientists and researchers to take on big problems, fuel imaginations, and spark debate. Wellcome supports over 14,000 people in more than 70 countries. In the next five years, Wellcome aims to help thousands of curious, passionate people all over the world explore ideas in science, population health, medical innovation, the humanities and social sciences and public engagement. Wellcome’s vision is divided into three ‘impact areas’: • Maximising the potential of research to improve human health • Delivering innovations that prevent or treat health problems • Engaging society to shape choices that lead to better health Wellcome has been the de facto owner of the Wellcome Genome Campus estate since the establishment of what was then called the Sanger Centre, in 1992.

  • 14 Great Chesterford to Whittlesford – 5 Miles (8 Kilometres)
    The Hundred Parishes Walks between railway stations – number 14 Great Chesterford to Whittlesford – 5 miles (8 kilometres) This walk is quite flat, mostly in Cambridgeshire in the valley of the River Cam. It starts in Essex on the outskirts of Great Chesterford and finishes just inside the Hundred Parishes at Whittlesford station, which is actually in the parish of Duxford. The first and final sections of the route are not special, but in between it passes through three attractive Cambridgeshire villages. Start: Great Chesterford Station (Ordnance Survey Grid Reference TL504424). Finish: Whittlesford Station (TL485472). (Limited parking at both stations). Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 209. 5 miles, mostly along roads. No stiles or gates to climb. Note: There are pubs in each of the 5 villages. Those closest to the route are noted. A map of the route appears at the end of the route description Tip: If travelling by train to and from the two stations it is usually cheaper to buy a return ticket for the most distant station, rather than two single tickets. Tip: If travelling by car, it is suggested that you park at the finish and catch the train to the start, thereby avoiding the possible pressure to finish the walk at a certain time. There is paticularly limited parking at Great Chesterford. Leave Great Chesterford Station from the London-bound platform (which also has a ticket machine and booking office). Pass through the car park and bear left along the station approach road. Keep left at the junction with London Road, the B1383. Immediately opposite is a former mill, now converted into apartments.

  • Hinxton Parish Council To
    Appeal ref APP/W0530/W/18/3210008 – Hinxton Parish Council’s further comments on the appeal by SmithsonHill Ltd against South Cambridgeshire District Council’s refusal of planning permission, submitted 24 October 2018 From: Hinxton Parish Council To: Leanne Palmer, The Planning Inspectorate, 3/J, Temple Quay House, Bristol BS1 6PN Application reference: South Cambridgeshire District Council, S/4099/17/OL; Applicant: Emma Fletcher, SmithsonHill Ltd Appeal reference: APP/W0530/W/18/3210008 – further response from Hinxton Parish Council 1. SmithsonHill Ltd submitted an outline planning application for the development of an ‘AgriTech technology park’ on fields in the parish of Hinxton, Cambridgeshire. Hinxton Parish Council submitted its formal objections on 22 January 2018. These objections are attached and should be taken into account in reading this further response. The application was refused in March 2018. The refusal was appealed against on 17 September 2018. In the following comments we summarise our main objections and draw attention to some subsequent evidence. References relate to the version of the South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) Local Plan approved in September 2018. 2. Hinxton Parish Council strongly endorses the SCDC’s nine reasons for refusing planning permission on 13 March 2018. 3. Hinxton Parish Council wishes to take the opportunity to defend its objections at any formal hearing that the Planning Inspectorate may hold on this appeal. 4. The proposed SmithsonHill development would be built entirely within the parish of Hinxton, 300m from the village’s High Street. Sited on what are currently exclusively arable fields, the proposed business park employing several thousand people would have a deeply damaging impact on our village of about 150 homes.
