Decision details

S/2791/14/OL - Melbourn (Land East of New Road)

Decision Maker: Planning Committee

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

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

Decision:

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 that the proposal amounted to an unsustainable development in that it would

 

1.     have an adverse visual impact on this part of the village and cumulatively create a hard urban edge to the village; and

 

2.     fail to deliver community cohesion through its demands on the local doctor’s surgery and primary school for which there is no certainty that the additional capacity required can be met
