Site constraints 3

National infrastructure project 467 m away: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme
The site is 467 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation (decided, 492 m); East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements (at pre-application, 1159 m).
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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Also on the record
Inside the Cambridge (Cambridge) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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 · No listed building at the site

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.
