Decisions:

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

 

The application sought approval for the construction of a 2-storey Passivhaus apartment block comprising two 2-bed apartments with secure entrance lobby, separate 2-car garage with space for bins and bikes and associated external works.

 

Mr Grieve (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

The Committee:

 

Resolved (unanimously) 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, and subject to the additional condition as follows:

 

Condition 12 - 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, storage of materials, ground works, installation of services, erection of scaffolding and landscaping. 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 trees on site.  (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 3/4, 3/11, 3.12 and 4/4).

 

Unitlateral Undertaking complete.
