Plans have been approved for business units, access and landscaping on derelict land in Burwell.
The site west of Reach Road was approved for the build at East Cambridgeshire planning committee on April 4.

Burwell Parish Council had no objections to the application.

But Highways said just one accident had been recorded near the site in five years, posing no danger to the development.
