Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the change of use to ten bed HMO with up to ten persons, and the construction of single storey rear extensions and a roof extension incorporating additional rear dormer window.

On a show of hand the recommendation to approve the application was lost by 2 votes in favour to 5 against. 

Resolved (unanimously) to refuse the application for the following reason:

The proposed additions to the dwelling, in particular the addition of the roof dormer, by virtue of their poor design, would neither preserve nor enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. As such the proposal is contrary to Cambridge Local Plan 2006 Policies 3/14d and 4/11.
