Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
outline planning permission.
The application sought approval for the erection of 2 dwellings with a
revised car parking layout for the existing dwelling.
The Senior Planner referred to amendments contained in the Amendment
Sheet.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Asked that planning approval be limited
to a single storey dwelling.
ii.
A two-storey development would
threaten the privacy of Fairfield in Gazeley Road, 8
Clay Farm houses and properties in Wingate Way.
iii.
Existing hedges, trees and fences
provided inadequate protection against the loss of privacy.
iv.
There was precedent for single
storey developments on Gazeley Road.
v.
Archay
provided a boundary between low density housing in Gazeley
Road and higher density on Clay Farm, this demarcation should be retained to
maintain the character of the area.
vi.
A bungalow on the site would meet
housing need in Cambridge for a high quality, single storey, large
property.
vii.
Access to the site was difficult
because Gazeley Road was a private single lane with a
narrow entrance / exit on to Trumpington Road.
viii.
High density housing would
exacerbate drainage problems to the rear of properties on Clay Farm Drive.
Mr Anderson (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 4 votes to 1) 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 including the additional condition
and the revised text to the condition contained in the Amendment Sheet.
