Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for construction of 2 semi-detached dwellings following
the demolition of existing garages.
The
Committee noted the amendment sheet.
The Planning
Officer stated that an additional condition would be added regarding the
minimum height of the velux windows.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of Burnside.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Access routes and increased traffic would create
problems.
ii.
Concerns about adding 2 additional properties to a
very narrow lane.
iii.
Additional parking would increase the risk of
blocked roads and limited service vehicle access.
iv.
Construction traffic would be a problem.
v.
Overshadowing and overbearing.
vi.
Impact on use of gardens.
vii.
Overdevelopment of the area.
viii.
Questioned the shadow drawing in the pack.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 7 votes to 1) 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.
“The velux windows at first-floor level serving the rooms labelled “Bed 2/ Home Office” shown on drawing number 15:172/15 Rev B, shall be installed at a height of no less than 1.7m above the finished floor level of the first floor.
Reason:
To protect the amenity of adjoining properties (Cambridge Local Plan 2006
