By six votes to two, the Committee refused the application contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Joint Director of Planning and Economic Development. Members agreed the reason for refusal as being a conflict with planning policies including Policy HQ/1 (Design Principles) of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018 by virtue of the proposal’s design quality, height and scale making it out of keeping with the character of, and fail either to preserve or enhance, the local area and landscape. Members also agreed that final wording for the Decision Notice should be agreed by officers in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Planning Committee.
(Councillors John Batchelor, Bradnam, Heylings, Milnes, Roberts and Wright voted to refuse the application. Councillors Cahn and Fane voted to approve it. Councillors Ellington, Rippeth and Heather Williams were not present.)
