The Town Council received professional planning support from NEIGHBOURHOOD-PLAN.CO.UK and marketing support from during the production of this Neighbourhood Plan. 2 Huntingdon Neighbourhood Plan – Evidence Base October 2018 Introduction 1. This document has been prepared to accompany the Huntingdon Neighbourhood Development Plan (“the Neighbourhood Plan”) under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (“the Regulations”). The relevant local planning authority is Huntingdonshire District Council. The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by Huntingdon Town Council, a qualifying body, (Section 38A(12) of the Planning and Compensation Act 2004) for the Neighbourhood Area covering the Parish (Town) of Huntingdon, as designated by Huntingdonshire District Council on 23 April 2015. 2. The policies described in the Neighbourhood Plan relate to the development and use of land in the designated Neighbourhood Area only. The document sets out the period of the Neighbourhood Plan which is from 2018 to 2026. 3. The Town Council established a Neighbourhood Plan Sub-Committee which is a working group made up of Town Councillors and local residents to progress the Neighbourhood Plan. It was agreed that the Neighbourhood Plan Sub-Committee would be the main decision making body with additional input, support and scrutiny from the Elected Members of the entire Town Council. 4. The Huntingdon Neighbourhood Plan must be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the development plan prepared by the local planning authority (Huntingdonshire District Council). Huntingdonshire District Council defines which policies are considered to be ‘strategic’ with regard to the production of the Neighbourhood Plan. 5. The Neighbourhood Plan must also be in conformity with the Cambridgeshire County Council’s Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Core Strategy and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Specific Proposals Plan. Evidence Base 6. The Neighbourhood Plan draws heavily on the evidence base produced by Huntingdonshire District Council for the emerging Huntingdonshire Local Plan which is intended to cover the period through to 2036. Although this plan period is longer, as the emerging Local Plan is not yet finalised the Neighbourhood Plan has been developed with a plan period to match the existing Huntingdonshire Core Strategy, i.e. 2026.

Huntingdonshire is situated approximately 100km (62 miles) north of London. It has strong relationships with Cambridge to the east, Peterborough to the north and Bedford to the south-west. These provide employment, shopping, leisure and health services to complement those available within the district. 8. Huntingdonshire benefits from excellent strategic communication links. The East Coast mainline railway bisects the district with stations in Huntingdon and St Neots. Highway linkages are particularly good. East-west linkages are provided by the A428 and the A14 which facilitates access west to the Midlands and east to Europe via the East Coast ports. The A1 provides north-south linkages facilitating access southwards to London and northwards locally to Peterborough and then onwards to the East Midlands, York and onto Scotland. Character 9. Huntingdonshire is the largest district in Cambridgeshire, with a population of 169,500, and a land area of over 900 square km (350 square miles). The district's predominantly rural nature is reflected in the population density which averages just 1.9 people per hectare (4 per acre); in comparison the population density of East Cambridgeshire is 1.3 per hectare (3 per acre) and Cambridge City is 30.4 people per hectare (75 per acre). Huntingdonshire has a relatively strong, stable economy with a high proportion of small to medium size enterprises. 10. Over the past 20 years, Huntingdonshire's population has grown by around 20%, partly in response to housing market pressures in and around Cambridge. 64% of the district's economically active residents live and work within Huntingdonshire. Recent housing and employment growth has been concentrated in and around the district's main towns, and to a lesser extent at the larger villages. Settlement Pattern 11. Three of Huntingdonshire's main settlements are located in the Ouse Valley corridor which runs through the south and east of the district with just Ramsey lying to the northeast in the Fens. The four historic market towns of Huntingdon, St Neots, St Ives and Ramsey are the largest centres of population and services in the district. These market towns have traditionally acted as service centres for nearby smaller settlements typically providing shopping, leisure, health and education services as well as being centres for employment. This arrangement has benefited both the market towns by increasing their catchment populations and the other settlements by providing residents with local access to services that would not be viable within individual settlements. The strength of this relationship varies according to proximity and accessibility with residents of some settlements looking to more than one market town for day-to-day services and all, including residents of market towns, looking outside the district to larger towns and cities for higher order services and greater choice. 8 Huntingdon Neighbourhood Plan – Evidence Base October 2018 12. Huntingdonshire contains one other town, Godmanchester, a large number of villages of varying sizes, hamlets and isolated dwellings in the countryside. Outside the towns the larger settlements have a range of services such as a primary school, a range of shops, public transport services, a community meeting place, a general practitioner's surgery and a range of employment opportunities. These settlements often play a role in providing services for residents of nearby smaller villages and countryside areas. The settlements which most strongly perform this function are identified later in this chapter. 13. Predominantly rural, Huntingdonshire includes many smaller villages scattered across the district which largely retain their historic form. Buildings clustered around a church or village green and linear patterns are both common settlement patterns. The valley of the River Great Ouse dominates the landscape of the central and eastern parts of the district being an attractive landscape with a particular

Huntingdon and St Ives - West) Site Bench Mark (SBM): Description – South corner of tree line bordering residential gardens. Lat and Long – 52°23'2.03"N, 0°15'43.89"W (Google Earth 2018) NGR – TL18374 77628 (OS. Explorer Map 225. Huntingdon and St Ives - West) AMSL – m (Mapping) Figure 0.1: Montage of pre-Season 3 images Aims and Objectives Investigate the pit revealed in the south end of Trench #1 in order to: - determine its form and use(s) - excavate the fill of the pit for 100 percent environmental sampling in order to further understand the pit's use(s) Investigate the possible wall and post-hole in close proximity to the pit in order to determine whether they are indeed structural and to further determine whether the post-hole respects a supporting post or a door post. Investigate the marked differences immediately south of the pit and possible structural features; marked differences include soil type, colour and texture, and the absence of CBM, tesserae and other archaeological artefacts. Conduct geophysical earth resistance survey. Project: Romano-British Settlement on Hill Top Season: 03 This session of excavation and geophysical survey proved to be another successful set of investigations that, despite the weather and ground conditions, addressed all the aims and objectives set above. The true extent of the pit was revealed and the half section showed it to be a 'beehive' or 'bell' shaped pit; a style of in-ground storage pit in common use from the Late Iron Age through the second century Romano-British - as evinced by finds from the pit fill.

Two areas of the proposed corridor were excluded from the survey, namely the extreme southem end where a smaH area (approximately 0.6 km) foHows the Hne of the existing Al road, and a section from the south of Biggleswade to New Spring Farm (approximately 3 km), which also foHows the existing road line closely. The survey work was carried out during October and November 1994. 1.2 The fieldwork was carried out along a 70 m wide corridor, with auger borings made every 100 m along either side and offset from each other.
