Decision Maker: Planning Committee

Made at meeting: 13/01/2021 - Planning Committee

Decision published: 15/01/2021

Effective from: 13/01/2021

Decision:

The Delivery Manager (Strategic Sites) informed the Committee that, on the evening of Monday 11 January 2021, the Council had received a draft copy of grounds for judicial review of this application, should it be determined at the current meeting.

 

Officers had spent a considerable amount of time analysing those draft grounds, which related to matters of compliance with the outline planning permission. A key consideration had been whether or not officers would be in a position to advise Committee members adequately at this meeting given the amount of detail needed to address the issues raised.

 

The draft grounds had been submitted by a third party who lived next to the application siteThey had been shared with the applicant who had now formally requested that the application be deferred.

 

In addition, and following the submission of another third party representation on Tuesday 12 January, the Lead Local Flood Authority had also requested that the application be deferred in order to give them an opportunity to review their comments on the application.

 

Upon a proposal from Councillor Pippa Heylings, seconded by Councillor Deborah Roberts, and by affirmation, the Committee deferred the application to allow officers and the Lead Local Flood Authority enough time to scrutinise the issues raised in sufficient detail and thus be able to advise the committee fully.

Wards affected: Fulbourn (pre-2018);
