PLANNING

Huntingdonshire District Council granted outline planning permission (Ref: 20/00308/OUT) on 15th October 2021 for the erection of up to 24 residential dwellings, including affordable housing (Use Class C3) together with parking areas, landscaping and other associated infrastructure, following the demolition of no.21 Ramsey Road and associated outbuildings. All matters reserved apart from access. Huntingdonshire District Council also granted full planning consent for the demolition of Number 21, Ramsey Road to facilitate access to the proposed development (Ref: 20/00723/FUL). A Section 106 Agreement has been agreed. The agreement includes contributions to off site formal space / sports, landscape maintenance and wheeled bin provision. We understand that the site will deliver a policy compliant 40% affordable housing provision, amounting to no.9 dwellings. (which is the net figure, following the demolition of 21 Ramsey Road). The S106 Agreement can be found within the microsite. Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will also be payable on all open market dwellings and domestic structures. Huntingdonshire District Council elected to adopt the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and came into force in May 2012. The charging schedule was last updated in 2022, with the current charging rate increasing after indexation to £126.55/m2 and will be applied to the open market element of the scheme. There is a comprehensive indicative masterplan accompanying the outline planning consent, planning summary with technical information and S106 agreement within the dedicated Microsite.
