Planning committee
Decided by Fenland Planning Committee on 27 May 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the site is detached from the settlement, harms rural character and lacks safe pedestrian access.
- Residents objected to highway safety, flooding, countryside harm, wildlife impacts and cumulative development, while supporters cited housing choice and economic benefits.
- The committee voted to refuse the application in line with the officer recommendation.
