Minutes:
The Committee received an application for full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the erection of one dwelling,
formation of a new access on to Long Road and associated operational development
(Amendments Pursuant to Approved Scheme 15/0287/FUL). With the Chairman’s permission, Ward
Councillor Moore had circulated background information to this item.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the
application.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
the Rugby Club did
not own most of the land, and some of it was subject to probate.
ii.
the issue of loss of open space in return for building a new road, and
lack of clarity about when the road would be built
iii.
build over arrangements with Anglia Water
iv.
Conditions were required regarding fencing, closing off the road and
piling
v.
the direction of the windows
Mr Mead (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor Moore (Queen Edith’s Ward Councillor) addressed the
Committee. He explained that he was not
speaking against the application, but recommending a deferral, due to the
complexity of the ownership issues of the access path needed to be resolved.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 1 with 1 abstention) 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.
