The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan allocates land to the north of the existing village over the period to 2031 and beyond for the development of a new town of approximately 8,000-9,000 homes. The new town will provide a long-term supply of new market and affordable homes helping to meet local housing needs and by doing so enable our rapidly growing economy to continue to prosper. We want the new town to be a place whose residents are proud of and which is a good neighbour to the existing village and Denny Abbey. The SPD provides further detail on how the new town will be delivered in accordance with the policies set out in the Local Plan. You can read what the Local Plan policy for the new town says in Appendix 3 of the SPD. What does the SPD have to say? The SPD establishes a vision for the new settlement, and strategic objectives for the new development. It includes strategic principles for development and place-making that set the quality expectations for the new settlement, to guide master planning of the site.

  • Waterbeach Parish Neighbourhood Plan Area Designation
    Waterbeach Parish Neighbourhood Plan Area Designation Waterbeach Parish Council are proposing the designation of Waterbeach Parish as the Neighbourhood Area for their Neighbourhood Plan (reference minute xxx/xxx Recommendation from March 2015 Parish Council meeting) Parish Council Statement justifying designation of Waterbeach Parish as the Neighbourhood Area. Waterbeach Parish, bounded primarily by the A10 to the West and the River Cam to the East has a unique combination of issues compared to neighbouring communities including: Rural nature: The parish is still set in a predominantly rural area with significant agricultural land and a mix of housing, industry and commerce. Transport Infrastructure: Unlike other villages north of Cambridge it has a railway station, a station car park and 4 level crossings, which impact the transport infrastructure of the village. The village is used by many commuters as a “rat run” to avoid the queues at the A14/A10 junction by diverting through Waterbeach and Horningsea. The junctions to the A10 at Car Dyke Road and Chittering still see many accidents and they are not currently scheduled for major improvement. The A10 itself is constantly subject to heavy traffic and delays in travelling both North and South. Flooding and Drainage The land is mostly drained into the river Cam through the area controlled by the Waterbeach Internal Drainage Board, but much of the land is low lying and prone to flooding and the pumping capacity is limited meaning that flooding risk and surface water drainage are significant issues. The sewage treatment plant is already running at high capacity resulting at times in sewage flooding parts of the village.
