Decision details

The Senior Planner (MH) referred to pre-committee amendments to recommendation set out on the amendment sheet.

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the erection of seven residential units following demolition of the existing bungalow and workshops, including access, car parking, bin and cycle stores, and landscaping.

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 plus additional pre-committee amendment to condition 25 as set out below:

Condition 25 should be re-worded as follows:

The specification and position of fencing, or any other measures to be taken for the protection of any trees from damage during the course of development, shall be implemented in accordance with the Arboricultural Implications Assessment dated July 2016 and the Tree Protection Plan drawing 'TIP 209A’ before any equipment, machinery or materials are brought onto the site for the purpose of development (including demolition). 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 ensure the retention of the trees on the neighbouring sites. (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 3/4, 3/11, 3/12 and 4/4).
