PLANNING HISTORY 4.1 Various planning history for buildings on the site of most relevance to this application is: 1100318FUL - Proposed access for use by school buses, delivery lorries, removal lorries, HGV's, articulated vehicles and contractor/construction vehicles and erection of fences, barriers, gates and guardhouse – permission GRANTED 5. CONSULTATIONS 5.1 The Stukeleys Parish Council gives GENERAL SUPPORT to the proposal although consider that the proposal will require substantial soft landscaping between the canopy and Ermine Street and also green field to the south of the proposal. It is also suggested that the canopy should be of a colour that blends adequately with the surrounding landscape and that the canopy should avoid bright lights during the hours of darkness - if it is possible to attach these conditions to the application then this council would support the proposals with a recommendation for approval. Following reconsultation, the Parish Council have OBJECTED to the proposal owing to the proposed roof colour (copies attached) 6. REPRESENTATIONS 6.1 No comments received within the consultation period. 7. SUMMARY OF ISSUES 7.1 The main issues to consider with this application are the impacts on the character and appearance of the area, on the residential amenity of surrounding properties, on highway safety and on protected species. 7.2 The Parish Council has requested additional soft landscaping, an appropriate colour for the canopy, and that bright lights be avoided during hours of darkness; it is suggested that these could be secured by condition. Government guidance states that conditions should only be imposed where they are necessary, relevant to planning, relevant to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects. Character and Appearance of the Area 7.3 Whilst large, it is felt that the canopy will not be significantly harmful to the character and appearance of the area as

Huntingdon and St Ives - West) Site Bench Mark (SBM): Description – South corner of tree line bordering residential gardens. Lat and Long – 52°23'2.03"N, 0°15'43.89"W (Google Earth 2018) NGR – TL18374 77628 (OS. Explorer Map 225. Huntingdon and St Ives - West) AMSL – m (Mapping) Figure 0.1: Montage of pre-Season 3 images Aims and Objectives Investigate the pit revealed in the south end of Trench #1 in order to: - determine its form and use(s) - excavate the fill of the pit for 100 percent environmental sampling in order to further understand the pit's use(s) Investigate the possible wall and post-hole in close proximity to the pit in order to determine whether they are indeed structural and to further determine whether the post-hole respects a supporting post or a door post. Investigate the marked differences immediately south of the pit and possible structural features; marked differences include soil type, colour and texture, and the absence of CBM, tesserae and other archaeological artefacts. Conduct geophysical earth resistance survey. Project: Romano-British Settlement on Hill Top Season: 03 This session of excavation and geophysical survey proved to be another successful set of investigations that, despite the weather and ground conditions, addressed all the aims and objectives set above. The true extent of the pit was revealed and the half section showed it to be a 'beehive' or 'bell' shaped pit; a style of in-ground storage pit in common use from the Late Iron Age through the second century Romano-British - as evinced by finds from the pit fill.

During this planning process, the current state of the water environment and associated land is systematically analysed and compared with appropriate standards. Where these standards are not being met or are likely to be affected in the future, the shortfalls, together with options for action to resolve them, are presented as issues in a table at the end of this brochure. YOUR VIEWS Formulation of this plan involves consulting and working with many public bodies and individuals. Your views on the issues identified are welcomed. You may also wish to comment on other matters affecting the water environment in the catchment area which you think should be examined by the NRA.
