Description
LOCATION
The site is situated on the northern side of Brampton, less than half a mile from the village centre. The nearest train station is in Huntingdon, approximately 2 miles to the east of the site, offering direct services to London King's Cross in under an hour. Brampton is a village with a population of
approximately 6,600 (2021 Census), located 21 miles north-west of Cambridge. The A141 is easily accessible via Junction 22, situated 0.5 miles to the north of the site, providing routes to Huntingdon to the north-east and the A14 to the west. The A14 offers connections to Cambridge to the south-east and Peterborough to the north, while also serving as a major east-west road link across central England.
The village benefits from a GP surgery, nursery, primary school, local shops, cafes, and public houses. More extensive amenities can be found in nearby Huntingdon.
DESCRIPTION
The site extends to approximately 3.27 acres (1.32 ha) and previously comprised a vacant farm holding, including several agricultural buildings, a small cottage, and areas of scrubland. All buildings onsite have now been demolished. The land gently undulates towards the north and north-west.
The site is broadly triangular in shape and well contained by mature hedgerows, except for the western boundary, which is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and included in the outline planning application for the care home. To the north, lies the A141 slip road, while the B1514 Thrapston Road borders to the east and south.
PLANNING
The site is within the jurisdiction of Huntingdonshire District Council. Outline planning permission was approved in April 2021 for up to 30 dwellings and a care home of up to 70 beds with all matters reserved except for two main vehicular accesses (19/00038/OUT).
A Reserved Matters application including details of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for the erection of 30 dwellings was approved in June 2022 (21/01043/REM).
A Non-Material Amendment to condition 2, approved in September 2023, allowed the development to be phased into demolition, residential, and care home development to facilitate CIL payment phasing.
Conditions 3, 4, 5, 7, 12 and 17 were approved for discharge in March 2024 (22/80398/COND).
A Lawful Development Certificate for the completion of demolition works onsite (24/00767/CLPD) was approved, which implemented the consent.
CIL
Huntingdonshire District Council is a CIL charging authority and has issued a Demand Notice with a payment schedule. The landowner has paid the first instalment (£72,729.89) and is discussing with the LPA to remove liability for further payments as no work has been carried out since the demolition phase. The total CIL liability for the current consent is £290,919.55. The landowner would expect to see the CIL paid to date to be reimbursed through the bidder's land offer to cover the decreased total CIL liability.
