ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
102 PLANNING:
FOR INFORMATION:
To report the Parish Council was not consulted on the new Marshalls car showrooms and multistorey car park given permission on 16th October. Cllr Amrani contacted Greater Cambridge Shared Planning who confirmed that appropriate procedures were followed in accordance with Greater Cambridge’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). This sets out that Parish Councils in South Cambridgeshire will be consulted on all appropriate planning applications as statutory consultees. However, the SCO does not require neighbouring parishes to be consulted. I can further confirm that the application was publicised by way of site notice and notice in the Cambridge Independent.
FOR DECISION:
i) Replace existing conservatory roof, doors, windows and frames at 8 Ferndale, Teversham 24/03680/HFUL
https://applications.greatercambridgeplanning.org/online-applications/PLAN/24/03680/HFUL

iii) S73 to vary conditions 1 (Approved drawings) and 28 (Visitor car parking) and additional condition 30 (pitch flexibility) of planning permission 23/01939/S73 (S73 to vary condition 1 (Approved plans) of reserved matters application 20/02569/REM (Reserved matters application as part of Phase 1B pursuant to condition 5 (Reserved Matters) of outline planning permission S/2682/13/OL dated 30 November 2016 (EIA Development) for detailed access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for the creation of 308 new homes, non-residential floor space, laying out of playing fields, open space, allotments, associated infrastructure and internal roads) to replace six two-storey houses (C2 and C3) within phase 1b with three-storey houses and to replace five carports with garages (D4)) to increase the number of visitor car parking spaces that are available to the users of the Plains recreational field on Land North Of Newmarket Road Fen Ditton Cambridge 24/03837/S73
https://applications.greatercambridgeplanning.org/online-applications/PLAN/24/03837/S73
EXPLANATION FROM HILL: The S73 is an application to vary the Phase 1b planning consent. The application was submitted following a request from the Local Planning Authority to provide additional parking for cars at The Plains (the area of sports pitches and open space NE Marleigh). The car parking spaces are proposed on Sanderson Road (which is currently the construction road) and will be substituted for some of the coach parking bays that are currently consented. The revised parking will support The Plains recreational facility following the Park & Ride relocation.
iv) S73 to vary condition 2 (Approved plans) of reserved matters application 22/05037/REM (Reserved matters application for appearance, landscape, layout and scale for 351 residential units and associated car parking, cycle parking and landscaping, along with partial discharge of conditions 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 26, 29, 30, 36, 37, 38, 40, 44, 45, 59, 64 pursuant to outline planning permission S/1231/18/OL as varied by refs: 22/01966/S73) revision in the design of appartment blocks 04a, 04b and 06 at Land North Of Cherry Hinton Coldhams Lane Cambridge 24/03783/S73
https://applications.greatercambridgeplanning.org/online-applications/PLAN/24/03783/S73
EXPLANATION FROM BELLWAY: A Section 73 application asks to change the rules attached to an existing planning permission, but not the permission itself. In this instance, this is a revision to the designs originally submitted for three of the apartment blocks. These changes are because of the difficulty of construction and issues resulting from the management and maintenance of the decking.
• Blocks 04a and 04b were designed for 13 flats with 7 maisonettes. It is now proposed that these blocks will comprise of 2 maisonettes, with the remaining plots as flats.
• Block 06 originally was designed with 12 flats and 11 maisonettes. It will now have 5 maisonettes, with the remaining plots being flats.
This has resulted in some modest amendments to the build form of the apartment buildings, specifically the side elevation. Some amendments have also been made to the layout of the car and cycle parking locations. It will also result in a small variation of the Gross Internal Area of the blocks. There have been no changes to the affordable housing dwellings delivered in the phase and there is an improvement in the number of dual aspect dwellings.
103 To discuss the proposal to build on land on Fulbourn Road between the Recreation Ground car park and Ferndale (PAPER ATTACHED). https://tevershamparishcouncil.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/Agenda-papers-2024/November/POTENTIAL-DEVELOPMENT-ON-FULBOURN-ROAD.pdf
