Those decisions, to identify which sites will be allocated in the Gypsy and Traveller Sites Development Plan Document, will be taken at a later date. i Foreword Huntingdonshire LDF | Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Update: Part C: Site Assessments for Gypsy and Traveller Sites ii Introduction 1 Huntingdonshire LDF | Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Update: Part C: Site Assessments for Gypsy and Traveller Sites 1 Introduction The Process The Gypsy and Traveller Sites DPD 1.1 The Council is producing a Development Plan Document (DPD) to allocate Gypsy and Traveller sites separately from its Planning Proposals DPD which will allocate sites for housing, employment and other land uses. 1.2 The first stage in the process of preparing a DPD for Gypsy and Traveller Sites was to identify the issues. An Issues document was produced for consultation from 16 January to 27 February 2009 (http://www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk). 1.3 The process continued with a call for further sites to be considered for their suitability for Gypsy and Travellers as part of the review of our Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) in June 2009. The SHLAA is in three parts: market housing, affordable housing in rural areas and Gypsy and Traveller sites. This part of the SHLAA identifies site options for Gypsy and Travellers and assesses them. 1.4 After consideration of responses on the SHLAA, the Council's preferences for sites will be identified in a further document which will again be subject to consultation. A Sustainability Appraisal will be prepared as part of the preparation of that document. The intention is to then move on to the Council's Proposed Submission DPD followed by submitting the DPD to the Secretary of State and then examination by an independent planning inspector . The process and its anticipated timetable are available on the Council's website. The East of England Plan 1.5 The DPD will need to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan which is the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). 1.6 A policy in the East of England Plan was reviewed in 2008 to identify the numbers of pitches for Gypsy and Travellers required in each district. The review found a need for more sites in the region. The draft policy was examined by an independent panel of inspectors in October 2008 and the policy was finalised in July 2009 after the release of the Council’s Issues document (http://www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk). 1.7 The policy identifies that Huntingdonshire District Council must provide for 25 additional permanent residential pitches by 2011 (and a further 21 by 2021) in addition to the 20 existing at January 2006. The policy also identifies the requirement for Gypsy and Traveller transit pitches and Travelling Showpeople plots by county. Further work has been undertaken to identify the district figures for transit pitches and Travelling Showpeople plots. The Council anticipates that it will need to provide for approximately 10 transit pitches on one or two sites within Huntingdonshire. Transit sites are intended for short-term use by those passing through an area. This assessment considers the potential suitability of sites for transit pitches as well as for permanent residential pitches. 1.8 There is no identified need to make provision for Travelling Showpeople within Huntingdonshire. As a result, this SHLAA does not assess the suitability of any site for Travelling Showpeople. 1.9 As the East of England Plan provisions are until 2021, and there is no guidance on how to provide for pitches beyond that date, this part of the SHLAA also looks to 2021. While this is a shorter date than the other parts of the SHLAA which look toward 2026, the shorter date is in accordance with the results of the Issues consultation. In respect of other housing, Government policy requires a supply of housing land for 15 years into the future, but this does not apply to Gypsy and Traveller provision. 1 1 Introduction Huntingdonshire LDF | Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Update: Part C: Site Assessments for Gypsy and Traveller Sites Government Guidance on Gypsy and Traveller Planning 1.10 The Government's circular 1/2006 on ‘Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites’ sets out its planning policy regarding Gypsies and Travellers. The circular requires councils to meet RSS requirements. It also advises on the sorts of locations that might be suitable and specifically advises that rural locations are acceptable in principle. In accordance with this government guidance, this SHLAA includes rural locations that are potentially suitable. Local Policy 1.11 The Council’s Core Strategy was adopted in September 2009 and contains Policy CS6 which sets the broad criteria for the location of Gypsy and Traveller sites to be used to guide the allocation of sites in the DPD. The criteria are also used in respect of individual planning applications. 1.12 As part of the preparation of the next stage of the Gypsy and Traveller Sites DPD, consideration will be given to whether additional policies are needed taking into account the results of the Issues Consultation 2009. 1.13 The SHLAA follows the framework set by government guidance,but the sites have also been assessed against the Core Strategy policy CS6. In making choices between sites as part of the next stage of the DPD considerable weight will be given to the Core Strategy policy. Purpose of the SHLAA 1.14 The SHLAA is a key component of the evidence base for the Council’s Local Development Framework as required by the Government's Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3). The SHLAA provides information on the opportunities that exist to meet Huntingdonshire’s housing requirement (including affordable housing and Gypsy and Traveller sites). 1.15 The fundamental purpose of the SHLAA is to understand the level of housing opportunities within the District by identifying sites with potential; assessing their potential suitability; identifying any constraints to development; and indicating whether suitable sites are able to be delivered within the time period of the plan. 1.16 The SHLAA has been produced as a technical document. Therefore no policy or political choices have been made. The consultation undertaken as part of the process forms part of the requirements under Regulation 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2008 as the site options identified as potentially suitable in this document (after taking into account the results of consultation) will be considered and tested as part of the DPD process. Sites Counted Towards Provision Existing Permanent Site at St Neots 1.17 The Gypsy and Traveller site on the eastern side of St. Neots opened in 1984 on County Council owned land. The site celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009 with some original residents still there. Luminus, a Registered Social Landlord, currently manages the site. The site comprises 20 pitches which in recent times has contained 38 caravans. Each pitch also contains a permanent utility building. The pitches vary in size with some around 200m2 and others more than twice that size. 1.18 The site is immediately adjacent to the railway line, a builders yard and agricultural land. New housing development is currently under construction to the north at Love's Farm. The Council's Core Strategy indicates that further substantial urban expansion is envisaged to the south and east of the existing Gypsy and Traveller site. 1.19 The site currently benefits from easy access into St Neots town centre and its facilities. However, the site is affected by noise from the railway and there is a main gas pipeline under the site.

  • The Manor House by the River Ouse at Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire Watercolour
    William Fraser GARDEN (Gillingham 1856 - Huntingdon 1921) The Manor House by the River Ouse at Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire Watercolour. Signed and dated W. F. GARDEN: ‘95. at the lower left. Inscribed Manor-house, Hemingford Grey. on the verso. 229 x 181 mm. (9 x 7 1/8 in.) The old Norman manor house at Hemingford Grey, situated close to the late 12th century church of Saint James, is noted by Pevsner as being ‘of very special interest’ for its central hall, which dates from the 12th century. The gardens of the manor house, which was the rented home of Fraser Garden’s parents, extended down to the River Ouse, with a moat enclosing the grounds on the other three sides. Provenance: The Broderick family, Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire. Artist description: Born into a family of artists, Garden William Fraser changed his name to William Fraser Garden so as to distinguish himself from his six brothers, all but one of whom were also active as landscape artists. Arguably the best of the so-called ‘Fraser Brotherhood’, Fraser Garden exhibited his watercolours at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours. The subjects of his watercolours were by and large views of the fen villages along the river Ouse, such as Holywell, Hemingford Grey and St. Ives, characterized by a remarkable attention to detail and crisp, cool lighting. Throughout the 1880’s Garden was represented by the Dowdeswell Gallery in New Bond Street in London, who sold a number of his works. By 1890, however, he seems to have given up exhibiting in London, and from then on relied on a small number of local collectors in Huntingdonshire.

PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT 1.1 The applicant company has lodged an appeal against the non- determination of this planning application. The decision will now be made, following a Public Inquiry which is likely to start in December 2013, by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. As part of the appeal, the Local Planning Authority will need to set out its case. The Panel is therefore asked to indicate the decision it would have made on the application. 2. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND APPLICATION 2.1 The proposal seeks full planning permission to erect six wind turbines each of a maximum height of 126 metres in height the blade tip. According to the application documents the turbines would have an installed capacity of between 1.8MW and 2.5MW; thus a maximum of 15MW in total.
