®Planning appeal decision
43 High Street, Brampton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE28 4TG
Planning appeal 3352805 at 43 High Street, Brampton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE28 4TG (Huntingdonshire District Council) was allowed on 28 February 2025 by Inspector Jones H, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed development would accord with the relevant development plan policy concerning the loss of local services and community facilities.
There is no development or works proposed in this application, just a change of use. It is one single planning unit (comprising of the residential dwelling and the retail unit) Class Sui Generis and we would like to change it back into a single private dwelling Class C3
