The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for erection of 6 No. 1-bed dwellings following the demolition of an existing building.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Fulbourn Old Drift:

      i.         523 Coldhams Lane had off road parking with a garden behind it. The application would set a precedent for garden development.

    ii.         The application was near the green space around St Andrew’s Church and could negatively impact on the amenity of groups who used the green space. It was the only space that could be used for concerts in the area.

   iii.         Recent developments in the area had increased the demand to use the open space around St Andrew’s Church for community purposes.

  iv.         The Church could ‘go out of business’ if it lost its parking spaces and delicate eco-systems.

Councillor Porrer proposed amendments to the Officer’s recommendation to include:

      i.         A condition to retain the green roof in perpetuity.

    ii.         A condition to retain new/existing trees.

The amendments were 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, subject to:

      i.         the planning conditions set out in the Officer’s report;

    ii.         the following additional conditions, with delegated authority to Officers to draft the conditions in consultation with the Chair and Spokes:

a.    A condition to retain the green roof in perpetuity.

b.    A condition to retain new/existing trees.
