Parish Council

Ref. & Address Details PC Decision Fenny Lane 22/04018/OUT Outline application with all matters reserved, other than access, for the erection of nine self-build dwellings on land at Fenny Lane Farm Recommended ‘Refusal’ with comments: This would be an inappropriate use of a Rural Exception site that is not accommodated in the Planning Policies and there are obvious issues of precedents being established for other sites in the village and the protections of current Planning Policies and their importance to our residents could thereby be diluted or lost.

Land South West of 31 Whitecroft Road, Troy Homes 22/03920/S73 S73 to vary condition 1 (drawings) of ref: 21/01443/REM (approval of matters reserved for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale following outline planning permission S/0971/18/OL for residential development of 9 dwellings. (A resubmission of 20/02313/REM to seek house type alterations, the introduction of front entrance access gates and amending access to the badger sett for maintenance purposes.)

Former GoCold Building, Station Yard, Meldreth 22/04077/S73 S73 to vary condition of ref: S/1502/17/FL to read: No devt. above slab level shall take place until provision of fire hydrants to a standard recommended by the Cambs Fire and Rescue Service has been approved by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall not be occupied until the approved scheme has been implemented. Recommend ‘Refusal’ with comments: The noise of traffic would cause a nuisance; this would include noise from vehicles waiting for access; traffic unable to gain access would also have to reverse back onto the road.

Noted; no comments.
