The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for retrospective change of use from a dwelling house (C3) to a house in multiple occupation for 8 persons (Sui Generis).

The Committee suggested the addition of a Management plan. This was agreed Nem Con.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved 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.

Planning Committee required the imposition of an additional condition, No. 5, to require a Management Plan to be agreed prior to use.  Accordingly, Condition 5 has been inserted into the decision which otherwise follows the Officer’s recommendation:

·        New Condition 5:

Within three months of the date of this permission, or prior to the first occupation of the building if the building is vacant at the time of the permission being issued, a Management Plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.  The Management Plan shall then be implemented in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To protect the amenity of neighbouring occupiers. (Cambridge Local Plan (2006) policies 3/7 and 4/13).
