Current status with Bourn Airfield planning...

It has been a quiet summer in terms of news regarding the Bourn Airfield Development but work has been proceeding both by the proposers of the development and those opposed to it. The work of the independent inspector who is assessing the relative merits of the Plan is ongoing. We have now heard that South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) expect to get a preliminary report from the inspector before the end of the year. This report should set out any modifications needed to make SCDC's plan sound. Any modifications will need to be consulted upon. There are no indications as yet as to the number, or nature, of these modifications. 

In the meantime, the developer, Countryside Properties, is pursuing a parallel process with a view to submitting a Planning Application for Bourn Airfield next year. The timing of this parallel process would be affected if any required modifications to the Local Plan regarding Bourn Airfield are indicated.
