Although a potentially significant benefit of the proposals this is however a matter for Cottenham Parish Council to consider if the application is determined favourably. Proposed Development The Proposed Development seeks outline permission for residential development comprising up to 137 dwellings including matters of access with all other matters reserved. The Proposed Development aims to create much needed housing that will sensitively integrate with the existing village. The proposals aim to reflect local character whilst taking advantage of the site’s location adjacent the existing recreation ground. The proposals show an increase in the recreation offering through an additional 2.8 hectares of land adjacent to the existing facilities. Providing housing around this recreation offer would provide natural surveillance and also provide future potential for a village hub to be created. Given the low density of the proposals the detailed design can provide the housing and recreation balance in many forms.

  • A Walk Around the Centre of Histon
    1 A Walk Around the Centre of Histon By Dellas & Ken Oates [Booklets 1, 4 & 20] The Green The Green reminds us of the important part this area played in the history of Histon. The abundant water supply, the presence of a dry gravel terrace and very fertile soil were probably the reasons for the first settlement. Here stood the stocks which were repaired in the 17th century. There is a record of a bill for “42lb of iron work for ye stocks”. Later forms of punishment also took place with the construction of a village cage or “lock-up” in one corner of the Green. It was demolished in 1855 when some of the materials were sold. The proceeds and the remaining materials were used to construct a bridge over the brook at the end of Water Lane. Until 1912 the Green with other open spaces in the village was classed as manorial waste and it was the property of the Lord of the Manor. However in that year the Rights were purchased so that the Green and all the other open spaces in the village are the property of the Parish Council with a set of Bye-Laws controlling them. Although often called “Histon Pond”, the brook is a running stream. It is part of nearly eight miles of water courses in the Parish which extend past Girton towards Coton, from Impington through Histon and on to Oakington, Rampton and Cottenham and finally into the Old West River of which it is a tributary. In the village there were three principal springs, one in the brook, one called “Sweet Springs” in what is now Glebe Way and one towards Girton which is called “Cresswell Springs”.
