The Committee approved the application contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director. A majority of Members agreed that there was no demonstrable and adverse harm to the countryside and that, therefore, the application did not conflict with paragraphs 7, 17 or 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework or with Policies DP/1, DP/2, DP/3 or NE/4 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework 2007. They also identified, as a material planning consideration, South Cambridgeshire District Council’s current inability to demonstrate that it had a five-year supply of housing land.
