Mr. Ratcliffe (applicant) and Councillor Will Wright (Swavesey Parish Council) addressed the meeting. Members also received an e-mail from Henry Doble (applicant’s agent).

Councillor Deborah Roberts pointed out the conflict between this application and the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018, The site was outside the Village Framework and the District Council now had a five-year housing land supply.

The Committee refused the application for the reasons set out in the report from the Joint Director of Planning and Econom Development.

(Councillor Deborah Roberts paid tribute to Aaron Sands, the case officer, who was leaving South Cambridgeshire District Council to join Huntingdonshire District Council as a Planner. The Committee expressed its appreciation of Aaron Sands’ work for the Planning Committee over the years.)
