People in Station Road have complained about lorries delivering topsoil and removing old earth at the weekends from a site behind the vets at the bottom of Station Road, Whittlesford. I've asked the enforcement and environmental services people to take a look. Seems to be about levelling the ground on the site. This may be in preparation for a bid for developing the site for housing.I've asked the planners for an overview of the scale of development at Whittlesford Bridge.
The sites currently in development are continuing to block the roads with lorries and vans, and I've gone back to the police to ask them to make another visit - I was talking to a resident yesterday who raised the idea of a rate reduction while all this went on!
Meanwhile, good news that the planning inspectors have said the land to the west of Moorfield Road should not be part of the village framework ie stays as greenbelt. This avoids ribbon development along the A505. The report says:
"Land at Whittlesford Bridge, just north of the bypass, is open, and
forms a continuation of the large open area to the west. The site
east of Moorfield Road, included in the Development Framework by
the Inspector who considered objections to the South
Cambridgeshire Local Plan, has housing on 3 sides as well as the
bypass to the south. This is not true of land west of Moorfield Road,
which land should not be included in the Development Framework."
