Planning

Full planning permission (ref: 21/00388/FUL) was granted on 14th October 2021 by East Cambridgeshire District Council for the “demolition of outbuildings, erection of two detached dwellings with access from Mill Lane and associated works (resubmission of application 18/01144/FUL).” The application proposes the erection of two, three-bedroom detached dwellings. Each new dwelling will have two off street parking spaces, a private garden and amenity space. The design of the proposed dwellings is of a high quality and would enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, aided by the removal of the existing outbuildings on the site. The dwelling of Plot 1 would be located towards the west of the site with no frontage onto a public highway. The dwelling of Plot 2 would be located towards the east of the site, facing towards Mill Lane. The existing butchers shop and house is in need of refurbishment and is not included within the planning permission.
