Updated Village Design Statement now adopted The Cottenham Village Design Statement was first publised in 1994. Since then both the village and planning legislation have evolved. The document has now been updated to ensure it remains relevant and effective. After public consultation, the revised Cottenham Village Design Statement was adopted by South Cambridgeshire District Council on 14 November 2007. Copies will be distributed to all households in Cottenham during December.
