Whilst the Council is not currently consulting on any changes to the Longstanton village framework, our clients have recently purchased property in the village and are taking the opportunity, before the local plan is finalised for submission, to request that the Council amends the village framework to include the property. This letter sets out the justification for such a change. The Local Plan Issues and Options 2 Report Part 2, paragraph 5.5, states that “Village Frameworks are defined to take into account the present extent of the built-up area plus development committed by planning permissions and other proposals in the Development Plan. They exclude buildings associated with countryside uses (e.g. farm buildings, houses with agricultural occupancy conditions or affordable housing schemes permitted as ‘exceptions’ to policy). In addition, small clusters of houses or areas of scattered development isolated in open countryside or detached from the main concentration of buildings within a village are also excluded. Boundaries may also cut across large gardens where the scale and character of the land relates more to the surrounding countryside than the built-up area.” Our clients property, Melrose House, is located on a large plot of 1.27 hectares in the village of Longstanton, South Cambridgeshire (see appendix 1; site location plan). The site consists of a large Victorian property with a level lawned area to the south of the house, with formal gardens, tennis court and paved terrace area immediately adjacent the house. The rest of the garden is more informal, although is contiguous with the formal garden and clearly within the curtilage of the house. Access is achieved from Woodside. To the north the property is bounded by School Lane. To the west the site is screened from wider views from the countryside by a substantial boundary of trees and hedges. According to the Core Strategy Village Inset Proposals Map (January 2010) the site falls within the Longstanton Conservation Area (policy CH/5). The house and grounds abut the Development Framework boundary for the northern part of Longstanton (historically known as Longstanton All Saints). The site lies adjacent to the High Street, opposite to All Saints Church and the Old School. On approach to the village along School Lane from the west, the area appears residential in nature, and the village to be entered on passing the tree/hedged boundary on the west side of the property and the high density development to the north of the site on Stokes Lane, as shown in Appendix 2, pictures 1 and 2. Travelling northwards along Woodside there is no apparent break between land within the defined village framework (to the south) and the site. Whilst the area is lower in density than that to the south the area does not have the “feel” of countryside. Travelling southwards along High Street, the site is approached from continuous built Offices and associates throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. Savills (UK) Limited. Chartered Surveyors. Regulated by RICS. A subsidiary of Savills plc. Registered in England No. 2605138. Registered office: 20 Grosvenor Hill, London W1K 3HQ a development and the site reads as part of the built up area. To the south west and west of the site, there is a clear distinction between open agricultural land and the garden to Melrose House, and a single carriage, traffic calmed road runs adjacent to the garden (see picture 3). The site is served by local public transport, with a bus shelter adjacent to the neighbouring ‘The Stables’ property, and is within minutes walk of the various facilities located on the High Street. Melrose House and its associated grounds are not associated with any countryside use, being used purely for residential purposes. The property has gained various planning permissions for extensions and alterations, with application S/1362/96/F – “Change of use from Paddock to Tennis Court” confirming that the property no longer has any countryside use. The house and grounds lie within the built up area of Longstanton and are seen as such – the site lies opposite All Saints Church and The Manor House. Historic maps of Longstanton show the site as part of the historic core of Longstanton All Saints. Given the surrounding uses, built up nature of the area, residential nature of the property and its location within the heart of the village the site is read with, and falls in the built up area and is a clearly part of the village. As a result, the village framework should be revised to include Melrose House and its grounds within the Village Framework as shown on the attached map (appendix 3). We look forward to continued engagement in the process and in the meantime should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours faithfully, Hollie Howe BA (Hons) MSc Planner Page 2 Appendix 1 – Site Location Plan Appendix 2 – Site photos Picture 1 – Properties on Stokes Close, adjacent to site Picture 2 – Properties bounding School Lane and site edge Picture 3 – Agricultural land bounding western edge of site Photo 4 – Melrose House and associated garden Photo 5 – Properties surrounding the site along School Lane Photo 5 – Properties on Thatchers Wood Appendix 3 – Proposed Revision to Village Framework Existing framework (black dashed line) Proposed extension (red solid line) .

  • Going for Gold – the South Cambridgeshire Story
    Going for gold The South Cambridgeshire story Written by Kevin Wilkins March 2019 Going for gold Foreword Local government is the backbone of our party, and from Cornwall to Eastleigh, Eastbourne to South Lakeland, with directly elected Mayors in Bedford and Watford, Liberal Democrats are making a real difference in councils across the country. So I was delighted to be asked to write this foreword for one of the latest to join that group of Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson MP CBE councils, South Cambridgeshire. Deputy Leader Liberal Democrats Every council is different, and their story is individual to them. It’s important that we learn what works and what doesn’t, and always be willing to tell our story so others can learn. Good practice booklets like this one produced by South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrat Group at the Local Government Association are tremendously useful. 2 This guide joins a long list of publications that they have produced promoting the successes of our local government base in places as varied as Liverpool, Watford and, more recently, Bedford. Encouraging more women to stand for public office is a campaign I hold close to my heart. It is wonderful to see a group of 30 Liberal Democrat councillors led by Councillor Bridget Smith, a worthy addition to a growing number of Liberal Democrat women group and council leaders such as Councillor Liz Green (Kingston Upon Thames), Councillor Sara Bedford (Three Rivers) Councillor Val Keitch (South Somerset), Councillor Ruth Dombey (Sutton), and Councillor Aileen Morton (Argyll and Bute) South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats are leading the way in embedding nature capital into all of their operations, policies and partnerships, focusing on meeting the housing needs of all their residents, and in dramatically raising the bar for local government involvement in regional economic development.

  • A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme Closure of the A14 at Bar Hill (Junction 29)
    A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Closure of the A14 at Bar Hill (junction 29) Friday 14 September (9pm) to Monday 17 September (6am) What are we doing? We’re installing two new bridges as part of the new junction at Bar Hill. These bridges will eventually form part of the new roundabout and improved Bar Hill junction. Each of the bridge decks is 44 metres long and weighs 1,000 tonnes. We will bring the steel and concrete bridge decks along the A14 from their fabrication yard next to the junction (where they have been assembled). We will then lift them into place on their new piers using a special transporter. There is no space to safely watch the work taking place, but we will live-stream the work and share a time-lapse video soon afterwards. A link to the live-stream will be shared on our website and social media pages. To prepare for this very special operation, which is the quickest way to install the two new bridges, we need to close the A14 and make some temporary changes to the slip roads at Bar Hill. The closure is essential for the construction of the new Bar Hill junction. We apologise for the inconvenience that this will cause. How will this affect your journey?

  • Oakington Transport Note
    NORTHSTOWE Phase 3A Oakington Transport Technical Note January 2021 Northstowe Phase 3A: Southern Access Road East and Oakington Traffic Impacts This note provides an overview of the background to the proposals for the Southern Access Road East (SARE) as part of the delivery of Northstowe Phase 3. This covers the purpose of the SARE, the background includes design issues and traffic impacts. The note seeks to respond to the comments made by Oakington and Westwick Parish Council and local residents. Northstowe Phase 3A is an outline planning application and seeks permission for the principle of development. It does not contain detailed design proposals and the SARE has not been designed in detail at this stage although the outline planning application does identify a corridor for the line of the new road (see Movement and Access Parameter Plan) and an indicative design has been prepared to support the Transport Assessment. The indicative design shows a possible design for the new road. The Purpose of the SARE Whilst public transport and cycling will be realistic travel choices for future residents of Northstowe, transport modelling to support the Northstowe Area Action Plan (NAAP) in 2007, the Phase 2 application in 2014 and the Phase 3A outline planning application all indicated that a new link from Northstowe to the south east would be required for later phases of Northstowe. This is in addition to a link to an improved Hatton’s Road and the A14 Bar Hill junction (now being constructed as the Southern Access Road West). The NAAP in 2007 set out broad principles and included reference to “new road from the A14 or its parallel distributor road in the vicinity of the existing Dry Drayton junction into the southern end of Northstowe”.
