27/02/2018 - 17/1909/FUL - 54A Mill Road

The Committee received an application for retrospective planning permission.

 

The application sought approval for a first floor rear extension to create four self-contained studio flats and proposed recessing of part of first floor rear wall and relocation of ducts.

 

The Senior Planner updated his report to amend condition 9.

 

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Mill Street.

 

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Expected disturbance due to courtyard noise during the afternoon and evening.

     ii.          High velocity extractor fans would be noisy. Welcomed monitoring of the impact on neighbours.

   iii.          Queried if any mitigation factors were possible.

 

The Committee:

 

Resolved (by 6 votes to 0) to grant the application for retrospective 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 officers and subject to condition no.9 being re-worded as follows:

The approved facilities shall be provided prior to the commencement of the use hereby permitted and shall be retained for their intended use thereafter.

 

Reason - To provide an acceptable living environment for future occupiers (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 4/13 and 5/2).
