The Committee approved the application contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and New Communities). Reason: The proposed boathouse, in spite of its complex, untraditional, bulky and top heavy form, was not considered to represent a significant visual intrusion along the riverside or to have a significantly harmful impact upon the character and appearance of the Horningsea Conservation Area. The proposed boathouse would not be harmful to the setting of the Grade 1 listed St Peters Church. The proposal would not conflict with Policies CH/4 or CH/5 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Development Framework (LDF) Development Control Policies Development Plan Document 2007, which sought to make sure that all new development preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Conservation Areas and that the setting of listed buildings was also preserved or enhanced.
Refused, contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and Sustainable Communities). Reason: by virtue of the proposal’s proximity to the southern boundary of no. 4 The Square together with the length of the proposal, there would be an overbearing effect and oppressive impact on the dwelling and garden at no. 4 The Square.
