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.

They are widely recognised as useful tools, helping to aid the planning, design and management of future development in a particular locality. 1.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recognises the value of local distinctiveness and supports the use of characterisation studies, such as character assessments, to underpin and inform planning policy. Specifically, paragraph 58 of the NPPF states that: ‘Local and neighbourhood plans should develop robust and comprehensive policies that set out the quality of development that will be expected for the area. Such policies should be based on stated objectives for the future of the area and an understanding and evaluation of its defining characteristics. Planning policies and decisions should aim to ensure that developments: respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings and materials, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation’.

The weather was extremely bad. It was a drab day with very low cloud and rain beating down, causing heavy spray and limited vision on the roads. Not a very good start to the coming week. However, the next day, Tuesday, 17th December, dawned bright but cold with a hint of ice on car windows. The early morning sky was clear, icy blue in colour with watery sunshine. From the top of the hill at Highworth, the view looking across the valley towards Carterton and Brize Norton resembled a series of large lakes where thick, low-lying mist hugged the ground. A few trees and the odd church spire projected up out of the mist, adding mystery to the scene. Like the Phoenix which rose up out of the fire, metaphorically, a different bird was to rise up out of this mist, but on this particular occasion, it was to be a long-eared owl, the emblem of No.622 Squadron. On this particular day, after a period of sixty-eight years absence, the number-plate of No.622 was to be officially Sqn Ldr Thomas Maxwell at the reinstated as an operational Royal Auxiliary Air controls of the Hercules C Mk1 J Force Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton. simulator during the 622 Sqn Mildenhall To witness this special day, a number of Register’s visit to RAF Brize Norton important guests were invited including Air Commodore Lord Beaverbrook, Air Marshal Sir Timothy Anderson, KCB, DSO and other Senior RAF Officers.
