Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

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

Decision:

The Committee approved applications S/1633/10 and S/1986/10/LB contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and New Communities).  Members agreed the reasons for approval as being that the existing buildings were detrimental to the setting of the adjacent Listed Building and church; that some effective use needed to be found for the builidngs; economic development would provide the potential for local employment opportunities; significant structural work was in any event needed; and the previous concerns regarding highway visibility had now been overcome.  Members concluded that these reasons for approval outweighed the planning harm to policies contained in the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework 2007, particularly Policy ET/7.  The Senior Lawyer reminded Members that the resolution would have to be advertised as a departure from the Development Plan.
