Planning committee

Decided by Huntingdonshire Development Management Committee on 19 Jan 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the smaller redevelopment could reuse previously developed land without unacceptable harm, subject to conditions.
  • Residents were divided, while the Parish Council objected over the site’s separation, travel, pedestrian safety and flooding concerns.
  • The committee approved the application subject to conditions and delegated authority to resolve surface-water drainage matters.

Site constraints 6

National infrastructure project about 734 m away: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme
The site is about 734 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
Conservation area about 29 m away: Offord Cluney; 3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Offord D'Arcy and Offord Cluny built-up area; Priority habitat about 29 m away: Deciduous woodland; 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.

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 15 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
