Public Participation

 

Mr Martin Quigley spoke in support to the application.

Cllr Matthew Deane (Salisbury City Council) spoke in support of the application.

 

The Planning Officer presented his report to the Committee which recommended that permission be GRANTED subject to conditions.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officer. Members asked about restrictions to parking permits on the site. Concern was raised in regards to the potential for flooding and it was confirmed that this development would be built with this in mind.

 

An item of late correspondence was circulated at the meeting.

 

Members debated the application and the merits of the new design scheme in comparison to the previously approved scheme. Concern in regards to flooding was discussed by Members and it was heard that the Environment Agency were happy with the application. The consultation of Wessex Water was raised in regards to sewer drainage and surface water; the Planning Officer then clarified the water drainage arrangements.

INFORMATIVE: Environment Agency

 

Under the terms of the Water Resources Act 1991 and the Land Drainage Byelaws, the prior written consent of the Agency is required for any proposed works or structures in, under, over or within 8 metres of the top of the bank of the Summerlock Stream designated a ‘main river’.  The need for Flood Defence Consent is over and above the need for planning permission.  To discuss the scope of our controls and to obtain an application form please contact Daniel Griffin on 01258 483 341.

In order to comply with condition 5, it will be necessary for the applicant to request that the necessary changes to the existing traffic regulation order are undertaken by Wiltshire Council, including the necessary changes to road markings.  The total cost of the order and works will be in the order of £2,000 and the applicant shall deposit the sum with the Council at the appropriate time in order to ensure the order and works are implemented to meet the programme of works.  It will not be permitted that the new access is constructed until the order is made and the full cost of the order and works have been paid in advance.

 

Any application for a residents parking permit by future occupants of the proposed flats will not be successful.
