Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 739 m away: Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation
The site is about 739 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme (decided, about 900 m); East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements (at pre-application, about 719 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.

Also on the record
Scheduled monument about 181 m away: Multi-phased settlement east of Milton; Inside the Milton (South Cambridgeshire) built-up area; Green belt about 51 m away: Cambridge; 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

Checked on 27 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.
