Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location outside the Hardwick development framework defined in the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan is an appropriate one for an additional dwelling given the context of St Neots Road at this point and the policies of the plan
What decided it
The extant permission for a large detached dwelling on the frontage, which would generate similar intensity of use and traffic to the two proposed semi-detached houses, outweighed any policy objection to development outside the development framework.
The benefits of housing delivery and effective use of land, supported by the fallback position of the extant permission, outweighed the limited difference in character and appearance impact between one large detached house and two smaller semi-detached houses on this part of St Neots Road
