Two outline planning applications have been submitted for Great Haddon, a proposed urban extension in the south of Peterborough located between the A1(M), A15 (London Road) and Hampton.

The applications

Planning application (outline) 09/01368/OUT

Development of an urban extension comprising up to 5350 residential dwellings; a district centre (with up to 9200 square metres (99031 sq.ft) retail floor space) and two neighbourhood centres (with up to 2300 square metres (24758 sq.ft) retail floor space) comprising district/neighbourhood retail (A1-A5); community and health (C2, D1); leisure (D2); residential (C3) and commercial (B1) uses. Provision for education facilities (sites for three primary and one secondary school); sports and recreational facilities; site for 5 gypsy and traveller pitches; a range of strategic open spaces including new landscaping , woodland and allotments; and cemetary provision.  Associated highway infrastructure (including pedestrian, bridleway and cycle routes), public transport infrastructure and car parking for all uses. Utilities and renewable energy infrastructure; foul and surface water drainage networks (including SuDS and lakes).

Planning application (outline) 09/01369/OUT

Development of up to 65 hectares of employment land (B1, B2 and B8 including provision of a site for a household recycling centre). Associated highway infrastructure (including pedestrian, bridleway and cycle routes), public transport infrastructure and car parking for all uses.  Utilities and renewable energy infrastructure, foul and surface water drainage networks (including SuDS and lakes).

Planning application 10/00320/FUL

Reference to this application is now included under this section in the interests of completeness. It is a detailed application for the construction of a new access road from junction 1 of the Fletton Parkway to serve the proposed Great Haddon employment area and the consented scheme at Alwalton Hill, including a partial diversion of Bridleway number 1 (so that the northern section runs parallel with the new access road) and an associated attenuation pond (the triangular land to the south west). The road runs until a point approximately three quarters of the way through the employment site culminating in a turning head (the revised plans remove the vehicular connection with the old Great North Road - although the principle of this link remains a proposal under the outline application). Details of the revised application are available at www.peterborough.gov.uk/publicaccess

Please be advised that the Great Haddon employment area application will be tabled to members at Planning and Environmental Protection Committee on 24 May 2011. The meeting will start at 1.30pm and is held in the Town Hall on Bridge Street, Peterborough.

The report to members will be available to view from Tuesday 17 May on the Council’s web site under Council and Democracy; Democracy; Committees; Planning and Environmental Protection Committee; Browse Meeting Agenda; 24 May 2011.
