*Tivoli, Mitcham’s Corner – application to demolish – 17/1771/FUL *

*Extended deadline for comments, 26 January*


Wetherspoons have applied for permission to demolish the Tivoli (apart from
the facade) and replace it with a six-storey building made up of a single
retail unit plus 16 apartments. The Tivoli is a focal feature of Mitcham's
Corner. Local residents and businesses want to see it redeveloped in a
sensitive way that will enhance the area.


Friends of Mitcham’s Corner say ‘the application is to build a 6-storey
block of flats with a tower alongside, both of which would dwarf other
buildings anywhere near it and loom over the River and Jesus Green’.


More details and key documents and a link to the Council portal are
available on the Friends website *friendsofmitchamscorner.org.uk

Note you need to register in order to post any comments on line or you can
write to



*Michael Hammond *the Case Officer.



Quote ref number 17/1771/FUL at The City Council Offices at  *Mandela House*
<https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/council-buildings>, 4 Regent Street,
Cambridge CB2 1BY  where plans can also be viewed*, *Monday 8am to 5.15 pm.
Tuesday– Friday.



*A reminder that when objecting it is important to specify the precise
Local Plan and NPPF policies to which the application does not conform. The
more specific the case you make, the more attention will have to be paid to
it – and you help Committee members by identifying the policy infringements
which they can then cite as reasons for refusal.*


*Greenways - Drop in events to discuss route options for the Comberton and
Melbourn Greenways **(flier attached)*

GCP say ‘*the proposals within these reports are ideas created by the
consultant and not the Cambridge Greenways project team, therefore are by
no means definitive options*


*NOTE* The Comberton proposals affect Senate House Passage, Trinity Lane,
Garret Hostel Lane, links to University Library as well as Adams Road and
Wilberforce Road.


See film of the *FeCRA Greenways Seminar* for a reminder of Greenways
issues and the presentation by landscape architect, Tom Turner.
