Planning committee

Decided by Huntingdonshire Development Management Committee on 23 Feb 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the allocated brownfield site’s benefits outweighed identified harm, including concerns about wastewater capacity.
Godmanchester Town Council supported redevelopment in principle but raised concerns about design, flooding, the footbridge, sustainability, highways and drainage.
The committee approved the application subject to conditions, including those in the report and late representations.

Site constraints 9

National infrastructure project 521 m away: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme

The site is 521 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.
