Planning Background

Development of retirement care village in class C2 comprising housing with care, communal health, wellbeing and leisure facilities; and C3 affordable dwellings (compromising up to 30% on-site provision), public open space, play provision, landscaping, car parking, access and associated development.

As you are aware the original planning application was refused by East Cambs District Council (ECDC), and was again refused on a subsequent appeal. Both ECDC and Bottisham Parish Council and the Bottisham Medical Practice maintained their position in strongly opposing this development on the Green Belt and have submitted documentation to support this opposition. Many residents have supported this with adding their reasons for objecting and we, along with the Medical Practice, would like to thank you for your support and commitment to helping maintaining our village with Green Belt land.
