Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the erection of a replacement dwelling following
demolition of the existing dwelling and garage, erection of detached outbuilding
and associated works.
The Committee
received representations in objection to the application from Kevin Whichello
and Louise Forrester who presented their concerns jointly.
The representation
covered the following issues:
i.
Proposed
building would be overbearing.
ii.
A smaller development would be less overbearing.
iii.
Neighbouring property would lose daylight to
kitchen diner.
iv.
A sunlight assessment is needed.
v.
Property would be overlooked. Screen is welcomed
but a computer generated assessment of the impact would add clarity.
Paul Belton, the applicant’s agent, addressed the Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Meftah addressed the Committee and made the following
comments:
i.
Agreed with the objector that the proposal was
overbearing and large.
ii.
Had visited the site and agreed that daylight would
be lost from the neighbouring property.
iii.
Suggested that a daylight survey was needed.
iv.
Requested additional conditions were needed to make
the proposal acceptable.
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 the additional condition regarding privacy screening:
‘Prior to the occupation of the house, plans shall be submitted to and
approved in writing by the local planning authority showing a screening
arrangement which would limit the angle of view from the proposed 2nd
floor terrace area into the rear garden of no. 32 Newton Road. The angle of
view shall be restricted from the screened terrace so that a depth of garden no
less than 20m from the original rear wall of no. 32 shall be screened from
overlooking. The screening shall be erected prior to the occupation of the
house and maintained as such in perpetuity.
Reason: In order to protect the privacy of the adjacent residents
(Cambridge Local Plan policy 3/12).’
