Decision details

The Committee received a Section 73 application to vary condition 1 of planning permission 15/0804/FUL dated 04/11/2015.

The application sought approval to vary condition 1 of planning permission 15/0804/FUL dated 04/11/2015 for new dwelling to rear of site with access from Trumpington Road to allow the removal of the basement pool, extension to form bedroom at first floor level and alterations to fenestration.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Trumpington Road.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Felt that objections had not been heard in the manner she expected.

     ii.          People wanted to develop sites in Cambridge.

   iii.          Took issue with the site plans.

   iv.          The Applicant was saving visual and space amenity for themselves at the expense of the Objector who would lose privacy. This was an area of concern, not the development of the site.

    v.          Took issue with fenestration on the development and overlooking from it into the Objector’s son’s bedroom.

   vi.          Asked for the proposed property to be moved 20m from the boundary.

Mr Thompson (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved (by 7 votes to 0) to grant the Section 73 application in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
