Welcome to Countryside Properties Clay Farm website.
Latest Update: On 26th November 2009 Countryside Properties submitted amendments to the a full planning application for the ‘Primary Route’ or ‘Spine Road’ which will run through Clay Farm connecting Long Road and the new Addenbrooke’s Access Road; the original application was submitted in March 2009. This will be a no-through route with a bus-gate. Please refer to the Download Area for a full copy of the application documentation.
In May 2008 Countryside Properties received a ‘resolution to grant’ outline planning permission for their development at Clay Farm, Cambridge. The Joint Development Control Committee, made up of councillors from the City Council, South Cambridgeshire District and Cambridgeshire County Council, decided that subject to finalisation of a S106 Agreement, and to a series of planning conditions, the permission for residential development with associated community facilities and strategic open space, could be granted.
The outline application (together with a duplicate) had been submitted in June 2007, with amendments made in December 2007, March and April 2008, further to consultation with the City Council and other parties.
All of the submitted documentation can be found in the download area.
A planning appeal was made in May 2009 with a planning inquiry taking place during part of September and October. A press release which explains this is provided in the Press Office section of this website. The Secretary of State will issue a decision on or before 10th March 2010.
The Clay Farm site is located approximately 3.7km south of Cambridge City Centre between the village of Trumpington and Addenbrooke's Hospital. The development will provide up to 2,300 new homes, an extensive strategic open space between Hobson's Brook and the railway line, accompanying provision of education facilities, sports and recreation, health and community facilities and local shopping facilities. The community facilities provided will seek to complement rather than compete with those already existing in Trumpington.
