Under consideration

No decision has been issued yet. Plota predicts a decision around 20 Oct 2026, from Cambridge's recent tree and landscaping works.

Site constraints 3

Protected tree 8 m away: Red Cross Lane/Hills Road, order 08/1977
2 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.

National infrastructure project 748 m away: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application; Inside the Cambridge (Cambridge) built-up area.
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.
