The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the demolition of existing 3 bed dwelling and the replacement of a new 4 bed dwelling, including a new bike shed and bin store.

The Principal Planner referred to amendments contained in the Amendment Sheet and also recommended an amendment to condition 15 adding a trigger point.

Mr Pomeroy (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

In response to Members’ concerns the Principal Planner confirmed condition 12 could be amended to include the provision of bin storage facilities.

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 including the following amendments to conditions 12 and 15.

Condition 12

Full details of facilities for the covered, secure parking of bicycles and of bin storage shall be submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing.  The approved facilities shall be provided in accordance with the approved details before use of the development commences and thereafter permanently retained.

Reason: To ensure satisfactory provision for the secure storage of bicycles and bins. (Cambridge Local Plan 2018 policies 57 and 82)

Condition 15

Prior to the bringing into use of the access points, hereby permitted, two pedestrian visibility splays of 2m x 2m shall be provided each side of both the vehicular accesses to the proposed development.
