The planning application by The Three Pickerels for a temporary marquee for functions, with outside bar and store, is due to be determined by East Cambridgeshire district council’s Planning Committee on Wednesday 6 May.
The planning officers’ recommendation is that councillors should refuse the application, for three reasons:
- significant and demonstrable harm to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers, due to the excessive noise and disturbance;
- inadequate parking facilities to sufficiently accommodate the volume [sic] of guests which the venue could hold; and
- significant harm to visual amenity.
A previous additional reason for refusal, on flooding grounds, has been removed following the submission of a flood report.
We live nearby in School Lane and cannot hear any noise when an event is held in the marquee. Sometimes we have walked past when an event is being held and it is pleasant to hear music wafting along river bank, did not seem very loud at all, and there appears to plenty of space for guests to park. The pub is a huge asset to the village and we would hate to see it unable to survive in this tough economic climate with opposition to their plans. We give our full support.
Once again the council going to block something what a surprise I wonder if it was their business. That was putting in the application If would be refused ??
