The Orchards is within easy walking distance of all that the village has to offer whilst also giving you close proximity to the surrounding countryside, the vibrant city of Cambridge and excellent road connection to destinations further afield.

Comprising 45 new two, three, four and five bedroom homes, including a number of bungalows, The Orchards is designed to create homes for all that respect and enhance the local vernacular, using high quality of materials and a restrained colour pallet. As you wander around The Orchards you will find secluded courtyard areas, landscaped spaces and character homes with traditional features, along with views of big skies and open countryside. With the village’s friendly community for all ages, Great Abington is a fantastic location for those wanting the convenience of being less than ten miles from the cultural city of Cambridge and just a few miles from the M11 for connections further afield.

Date by which decision due: Extension of time agreed until 9th December 2016 Executive Summary 1. This proposal seeks outline permission (access only for approval) for a residential development of up to 30 dwellings on a greenfield site within the countryside, outside the designated Development Framework of an infill village as identified in the adopted and emerging plans and adjacent to the Green Belt. The development would not normally be considered acceptable in principle when set against current adopted policy as a result of its scale and location. However, the district does not currently have a 5 year housing land supply and therefore the adopted LDF policies in relation to the supply of housing are not up to date for the purposes of the NPPF. However, the Local Planning Authority must still determine the weight to be applied to the policies even when out of date.
