The Committee approved the application, contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director, subject to the imposition of safeguarding Conditions relating to, among other things, materials and landscaping. Members agreed the reasons for approval as being that

1.    The proposed replacement dwelling, despite the scale of the two storey rear element and its impact on the design of the dwelling, would not have an unacceptable impact on the visual amenity of the area and would not materially increase the impact of the site on its surrounding to the detriment of the openness and the character of the countryside; and

2.    The proposal was compliant therefore with Policies DP/2, DP/3 and HG/7 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework 2007.
