A former joinery in Soham could be demolished to make way for a development of houses.

Tim and Paul Hedger have applied to East Cambridgeshire District Council for permission to demolish a host of outbuildings on the former Soham Joinery site, in Mereside.

The developers said plans for the 1.7acre site would include garaging, parking and access roads.

Agents acting for the Hedgers said: “It is not considered that traffic levels will increase significantly. The site is immediately adjacent to the existing relief road which gives excellent links back to the A142.

“It is therefore considered the proposal will have no significant transport implications.”
