Julie Ayre from SCDC gave an update on the Trumpington Meadows development. The first planning application for 350 houses should be received from Barratt Homes by the end of January, 70 of these homes would be in Haslingfield Parish. It is intended to have a public exhibition/presentation in the village hall illustrating the plans (28th February?). The planning application for the school should be submitted towards the end of February.
