Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for subdivision of existing property into two C4 dwellings with associated bin & cycle storage and boundary fencing.

The Principal Planning Officer brought the report up to date:

       i.          Condition 6 amended to a standard hard and soft landscaping condition.

     ii.          Referred to pre-committee amendments to recommendation:

An additional condition (No.7) should be added as follows:

Prior to the bringing into use of the development, hereby permitted, the existing access to the adopted public highway shall be permanently closed off and returned to a full face kerbed footway.

Reason: In the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policy 8/2 of the Cambridge Local Plan 2006.

Councillor Moore (Queen Edith's Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Raised safety concerns. The application was located near schools in an area with parking issues. Parking was pushed off-site from 55 Spalding Way onto the street and so impacted on local amenities.

     ii.          The Letting Agent’s description of the property was inaccurate.

   iii.          Separate electrical and heating supplies were required for the two dwellings.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
