The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

 

The application sought permission for the redevelopment of land adjacent to 40-42 Cambridge Place, Cambridge for the erection of a 2 storey block of 5No. 1 bed apartments.

 

Barbara Bell addressed the Committee and made the following points in objection to the application.

 

i.                 Overdevelopment of the site.

ii.               Changes to boundary wall will damage neighbours amenity space.

iii.             Loss of light and air to 23 Glisson Road.

iv.             Suggested deferral of the application. 

 

The Applicants Architect addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

Resolved (unanimously) 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 officer, and the following additional condition:

 

       i.          Notwithstanding the approved drawings, no development shall take place until revised details of the boundary treatment on the common boundary between the application site and Nos. 21 and 23 Glisson Road have been submitted to, and agreed in writing by, the local planning authority. Boundary treatments on this boundary shall be implemented in accordance with the approved revised details, and shall be maintained thereafter.

 

Reason: To protect the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers. (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 3/4 and 3/12)’
