Minutes:
The Committee received an application for a
certificate of lawfulness under Section 191 for the use as additional letting
bedrooms and ancillary accommodation to a hotel.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from Mr Gawthrope.
The representation covered the following issues:
(i)
The site had a long planning history and little
seemed to have changed since the previous application.
(ii)
The Fire Service did not record the premises as
part of the hotel and this was dismissed in the officer’s report.
(iii)
Previous reports stated that there had been no
evidence of a change of use.
Mr Dale Barker (Applicants Agent) addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
On the advice of the
Case Officer, and due to the confusing nature of the wording, the Committee
agreed to amend the wording of the recommendation on page 105 of the agenda as
follows (amendment struck though):
That a certificate
of lawfulness be granted under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990 (as amended) for 142 Tenison Road, Cambridge.
1. The
development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration
of three years from the date of this permission.
Reason: In
