With a relatively short consultation time, HDC have initiated a public consultation into the proposed addition, to the next Local Plan, of the below housing development site within Spaldwick.
If anyone wishes to comment they will need the link given below and would need to do so before 10 June.
In their invitation to consult HDC say: We strongly encourage residents, businesses, local organisations and interest groups to get involved now rather than wait for a planning application to come in for development and then object to it when the principle of the proposal has already been agreed through the Local Plan and there are only the details left to influence.
Additional Sites Allocations for Local Plan to 2046 will be available for you to view and comment between the following dates:
- Start date: 13/05/26 10:00
- End date: 10/06/26 23:59

Taking a summary extract from the linked web page they are referring to this site:
- Site Draft Allocation Spaldwick 1
East of Stow Road, Spaldwick
6.1 ha of land east of Stow Road, Spaldwick is allocated for residential development of about 90 homes.
Successful development of the site will require:
- high quality design that reflects the site’s position on the edge of the settlement and that is capable of being integrated with residential development to the north
- retention and enhancement of existing trees and hedgerows as part of a landscaping scheme to create a mature setting to the development
- provision of a proportionate flood risk assessment and drainage strategy to evaluate residual risk from culvert, surface water flood risk and fluvial flood risk from the ordinary watercourse south of the site
- early engagement and agreement with the Council in liaison with the Environment Agency and Anglian Water Services that waste water flows from the proposal can be accommodated
- the provision of a suitable means of access from Stow Road and provision of a safe and appropriate access to the village by vehicles and active travel modes
- retention and enhancement of existing rights of way
