Why it was refused

  1. Reasons Condition 2 The following documents / plans have been considered and are the Refused Details relevant to this condition: - Glint and Glare Assessment, Jan 2025 Cambridge City Airport has been consulted on the above information, the full response of which is set out on the Council's website. In consideration of this advice, the details submitted are not acceptable and fail to be in conformity with the reasons and policy requirements of the condition for the following refusal reasons: - The assessment provided has insufficent information to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely impact the safe and effective operation of the airport, no methodology nor calculations on glint and glare have been included to show that nothing greater would result than present glint and glare. The proposal does not meet conditions of Paragraph J.4 (2) of Schedule 2, Part 14, Class J of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended). This condition is therefore not discharged. To address the reasons for the refusal of this condition submission, you will need to submit to the Local Planning Authority a revised application fully addressing the refusal reasons.
