Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the proposed development of a pair of
semi-detached dwellings: 1no. one bed and 1no. two bed, with associated landscaping, parking, bin and cycle
storage.
The design and access statement was circulated.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of Mill End Close.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Contravenes policy 3.10 of the Local Plan as it
would have an impact on the amenity of neighbours.
ii.
Would be overbearing for neighbours.
iii.
Scale and mass out of keeping with the area.
iv.
Would cause overshadowing.
v.
Loss of evening light to garden.
vi.
Not opposed to any development. A
single dwelling would be more appropriate.
Sam Hicks (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor Ashton
(Cherry Hinton Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application.
i.
Matters covered by policy 3.10 were subjective and
matters of opinion.
ii.
A site visit would be helpful.
iii.
Would result in significant loss of light to
neighbours gardens.
iv.
Would result in significant adverse impact and
feeling of enclosure.
v.
Would be overbearing and overdevelopment.
vi.
A single dwelling would be more appropriate for the
site.
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.
