Inquiry Documents
The inquiry documents can normally be viewed at SCDC in Cambourne from 9am until 5pm

Please have a look yourselves, these notes cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct

Documentation is available for viewing, (please verify these yourselves as actual photocopies cost £12 for up to 30 pages - I declined)
There is a letter from Wood Frampton (PJ Frampton) the developers consultant suggesting contributions for various projects,
--- only as a starting point
.

Developers will retain a veto on all Cambourne planning applications

The first floor of the Community centre would provide 178 sq metres extra space and according to them this would meet the requirements of the enlarged community.

A contribution of £100k for the church building (this is to cost the Church an estimated £5 million to build).

Sports fields, plus 3 acres to the west of the sports area (they have failed to identify all the existing areas yet !)

Primary education £4 million recognising the need for an out of school facility)

Secondary Education £4.2 million

Youth Centre contribution of £200k would be available

Health provision £200k

Eco enhancement - none

Public transport subsidy to continue after 2004

Bridleway Bridge will be considered

3% of the development costs for public art

Parish office 20 metre extension proposed to Community Centre

Storage for ground equipment 50sq mtrs

Energy conservation £80k

21% of extra plots to SCDC on a serviced basis for low cost homes to consist of

Providing 8.3% extra low cost homes (social)

20% of which would be 1 bed flats
20% of which would be 2 bed flats
30% of which would be 2 bed houses
25% of which would be 3 bed houses
5% of which would be 4 bed houses

There is a statement of common ground from the developers but not yet agreed by SCDC, this will be used so that the inquiry does not waste time on what can be pre-agreed (if anything).

Amazingly the Highway authority raise no objections, but I am told they like clearing up the mess afterwards.


IN VIEW OF THE MASSIVE PROFITS GAINED BY THE DEVELOPER FOR 2,000 EXTRA HOMES ON THE SAME AREA THAT ALLOWED ONLY 3000 HOMES OVERALL (SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS), THIS PROPOSAL IS A PITTANCE
