52 Planning Report - 19/0555/FUL - 84 Ditton Lane PDF 136 KB
Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for the sub-division of the existing
site to build new one and a half storey 2-bed detached dwelling to the rear,
and bike store.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Local residents do not feel they had the chance to
respond to the application due to very limited advertising of the plans.
ii.
Development would increase parking pressure.
iii.
Building on a blind corner would endanger local
children on their way to school.
iv.
A single storey unit would be more appropriate.
v.
Building could be located further back in the site.
Chris Todd (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor
Thornburrow proposed a boundary treatment condition regarding low level
planning and landscaping should be added to the Officer’s recommendation, which
was carried unanimously.
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’s report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the Officer and subject to two additional
conditions relating to (1) hard and soft landscape and (2) boundary treatment,
as follows:
14 No development above ground level, other
than demolition, shall commence until full details of both hard and soft
landscape works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local
Planning Authority. The works shall be carried out as approved. These details shall include proposed planting
to the front of the property to provide defensible space. The planting adjacent
to the northern elevation shall be kept at a low level to ensure it does not
restrict visibility of the footway.
All hard and soft landscape works shall be
carried out in accordance with the approved details. The works shall be carried out prior to the
occupation of any part of the development or in accordance with a programme
agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The maintenance shall be
carried out in accordance with the approved schedule. Any trees or plants that,
within a period of five years after planting, are removed, die or become in the
opinion of the Local Planning Authority, seriously damaged or defective, shall
be replaced as soon as is reasonably practicable with others of species, size
and number as originally approved, unless the Local Planning Authority gives
its written consent to any variation.
Reason: In the interests of visual amenity
and to ensure that suitable hard and soft landscape is provided as part of the
development. (Cambridge Local Plan 2018 policies 55, 57 and 59)
15. No development above ground level, other than demolition, shall commence
until there has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning
Authority a plan indicating the positions, design, materials and type of
boundary treatments to be erected. Boundary treatments to adjoining gardens
should include sufficient gaps (150mm X 150mm) to allow access for
hedgehogs. The boundary treatment shall
be completed in accordance with the approved details prior to the first occupation
or the bringing into use of the development (or other timetable agreed in
writing by the Local Planning Authority) and retained as approved thereafter.
Reason: To ensure
an appropriate boundary treatment is implemented in the interests of visual
amenity and privacy (Cambridge Local Plan 2018 policies 55, 57 and 59).
