600/01 2   Minutes - the minutes of the meeting of 15 October 2001 were
           approved and signed as a true record.

       3   Decisions Received
601/01     RG Cave land r/o 63 Cambridge Road bungalow - refused. Back-land
(507/01)   development out of character with the surrounding area. The bungalow
           would be sited in a poor environment suffering noise and disturbance
           from its commercial neighbours and causing noise and disturbance to
           its residential neighbour. The proposed access for the bungalow
           would run between and in close proximity to the two proposed houses.
           Further noise and disturbance would occur through the use of the
           proposed access to the new properties either side of the access.

           Contrary to Policy SP12/10 of the Structure Plan 1995, Policy H15 of
           the South Cambs Local Plan 1993 and Policy H16A of the South Cambs
           Deposit Local Plan 1999.
