Tomorrow (Wednesday 6 March) East Cambs District Council’s planning committee will determine the latest application by Abbey Homes for their development at Garden Close.

The committee refused Abbey’s previous application in April last year, and Abbey have appealed against this refusal. Abbey have also submitted yet another fresh application alongside their appeal.

The council originally said it would wait for the appeal before deciding the new application, but has now changed its mind. There are very few changes between the new application and the one that was refused last year.

Abbey still have their outline planning permission—but haven’t yet come up with acceptable detail for the ‘reserved matters’.

Both Mark and I have registered to speak tomorrow, opposing the application for the same reasons we objected a year ago.
