Is subject to call in?: No
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for reconfiguration and extensions, incorporating dormer
windows, and alterations to roof of building to provide 12 residential units (net
increase of 9 units) along with bin and cycle storage.
The Committee:
Resolved (4 votes to 4 – and on the Chair’s
casting vote) to reject the
officer recommendation to approve the application.
Resolved (by 4
votes to 2) to refuse the
application contrary to the officer recommendation for the following reason:
The proposed development would constitute an overdevelopment of the site
by virtue of cramped and small living spaces for future occupants and a
constrained external living environment and as such would fail to secure a good
standard of amenity for future occupants, contrary to Cambridge Local Plan
(2006) policies 3/7 and 3/14.
After the vote
Councillor Nethsingha left the committee for another commitment.
