Planning committee

Decided by Huntingdonshire Development Management Committee on 14 Jul 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the scheme would increase care capacity, respect local character and avoid significant harm.
  • Two objections raised concerns about disturbance, personal care, family atmosphere and the building’s height.
  • Members voted by show of hands to grant permission with the stated conditions.

Site constraints 7

Grade II listed: 45, Church Street
List entry 1330421 · The pin is inside its outline · 11 more listed buildings within 150 m (11 Grade II)
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Buckden conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National infrastructure project 961 m away: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme
The site is 961 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
Scheduled monument 212 m away: Buckden Palace; Inside the Buckden built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
