Decision details

All planning applications for Girton considered by the Planning Committee since May 2003. For individual reports, please click on the “Meetings” tab above. For further details on all Girton planning applications, please visit our Planning Applications Database and select Girton 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

1.    The enormous intensification of use, which would have an adverse impact on the amenity of neighbours by virtue of noise and light pollution

2.    That the special circumstances set out in the application were insufficient to outweigh the harm that would be caused, and therefore contravened policies, including Policy GB/1, contained in the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework 2007
