By 6
votes in favour as per the officer recommendation (Councillors
Corinne Garvie, Lisa Redrup, Peter Sandford, Eileen Wilson, Heather
Williams, Richard Williams), to 3 votes against the officer
recommendation (Councillors Peter Fane, Tumi Hawkins and James
Rixon), the Committee refused the application for the reason set
out below with delegated authority to officers to make minor
amendments to the reason as drafted:
·      
The proposal, by reason of the two storey scale of
the proposed dwellings and scale of the associated garages, would
introduce a character of the development, which is not considered
appropriate to this location and owing to the introduction of
increased activity, associated with the residential occupancy of
the site, the development would be harmful to the tranquil and
secluded character of the site and surrounding area. As such the
proposed development would fail to preserve the character of the
local rural area. The proposal does not accord with Policies H/16
(b) (i), HQ/1 (a) and Policy S/7 (a) of the South Cambridgeshire
Local Plan 2018.
