Mr Brunwin (objector), Josh Palmer (applicant’s agent) and Councillor Janet Lockwood (local Member) meeting. Mr Brunwin said that the proposed new dwelling on Plot 2 would be overbearing and would adversely affect his greenhouse and trees by blocking natural light. He said that amenity would further be affected by virtue of part of his property being overlooked by the new dwelling on Plot 2. Mr Palmer said that the proposed development had sought to have a positive impact through careful discussion with planning and urban design officers. Councillor Lockwood said that the proposed development was out of keeping with much of Harston, and would have an adverse impact on Mr Brunwin’s amenity.

Councillor David McCraith said he could see no reason to refuse the application, and Councillors Sebastian Kindersley and Deborah Roberts agreed.

The Committee approved the application subject to the Conditions set out in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director.
