Decision details

All planning applications for Fen Drayton considered by the Planning Committee since May 2003. For individual reports, please click on the “Meetings” tab above. For further details on all Fen Drayton planning applications, please visit our Planning Applications Database and select Fen Drayton from the drop-down list of parishes.

The Committee refused the application contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director.   Members agreed the reasons for refusal as being the adverse impact on neighbours’ amenity, especially from the likely increase in heavy goods traffic, and the lack of suitable landscaping.  Should the applicant appeal the decision, and succeed in getting it overturned, the Committee instructed officers to urge the Inspector to order the creation of a local ‘Liaison Group’ facilitating communication between the applicant and local residents.  The Committee also asked officers to consider the Policy implications brought about by measures introduced by the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework 2007.
