Minutes:
The Committee received an application for full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the erection of 1.5 storey dwelling
with access from North Street following demolition of existing shed at the rear
of 89 Histon Road.
The Committee received a representation in objection to proposal from a
local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
how the description of the proposed property was misleading, in terms of
height, size, aspect and location
ii.
the objector had requested a Tree Preservation Order for the tree that
was proposed to be removed
iii.
the traffic and
parking issues at the location, specifically the narrowness of the road,
existing congestion and difficulty in manoeuvring.
The applicant, Mr Thornley, addressed the
Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Holt (Castle Ward Councillor),
addressed the Committee about the application.
The representation covered the following areas:
i.
access and safety: specifically
the narrowness of the road and parking issues
ii.
granting permission for
this application could set a precedent for many other similar applications in
this area, causing further parking and safety issues, and degrading the
appearance of the area.
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 in the main report.
