The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 1) 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 plus additional condition and
delegated powers:
Condition 26
Prior to commencement and in accordance with
BS5837 2012, a phased Arboricultural Method Statement
(AMS) and Tree Protection Plan (TPP) shall be submitted to the local planning
authority for its written approval, before any equipment, machinery or
materials are brought onto the site for the purpose of development (including
demolition). In a logical sequence the AMS and TPP will consider all phases of
construction in relation to the potential impact on trees and detail the
specification and position of protection barriers and ground protection and all
measures to be taken for the protection of any trees from damage during the
course of any activity related to the development, including demolition,
foundation design, storage of materials, ground works, installation of
services, erection of scaffolding and landscaping.
Prior to the commencement of site clearance
a pre-commencement site meeting shall be held and attended by the site manager,
the arboricultural consultant and Local Planning
Authority Tree Officer to discuss details of the approved AMS.
The approved AMS and TPP will be implemented
throughout the development and the agreed means of protection shall be retained
on site until all equipment, and surplus materials have been removed from the
site. Nothing shall be stored or placed in any area protected in accordance
with this condition, and the ground levels within those areas shall not be
altered nor shall any excavation be made without the prior written approval of
the local planning authority.
Reason: To protect the visual amenity of the
area and to ensure the retention of the trees on the site. (Cambridge Local Plan
2006 policies 3/4, 3/11, 3/12 and 4/4)
DELEGATED
