Public Participation

Peter Harwood spoke in objection to the application.

Tony Allen (Agent) spoke in support of the application.

Martin Quigley spoke in support of the application.

Cllr Tom Corbin spoke on behalf of Salisbury City Council, in support of the application.

 

The Senior Planning Officer drew attention to the late correspondence and introduced the application for the proposed erection of three dwellings, with associated car parking and landscaping. The application was recommended for approval with conditions. It was noted that a five dwelling scheme had previously been to committee and was refused, with one of the reasons being that the site was in a medieval chequer. Natural England had since confirmed that the site was not in one of the chequers, however it was in a conservation area.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officers.  It was noted that revised plans submitted by the applicant had met the concerns of the Conservation Officer. There were no trees on the site worthy of a preservation order.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee, as detailed above.

 

The Committee discussed the application, noting that the application had addressed the problems associated with the previous application. Despite the size of the site it was felt that it was almost invisible, due to the existing  surrounding buildings.

 

Resolved:

That the application be APPROVED subject to conditions:

 

1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

 

REASON:   To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

INFORMATIVES:

 

The adults, young, eggs and nests of all species of birds are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) while they are breeding. The applicant is advised to check any structure or vegetation capable of supporting breeding birds and delay removing or altering such features until after young birds have fledged. Damage to extensive areas that could contain nests/breeding birds should be undertaken outside the breeding season. This season is usually taken to be the period between 1st March and 31st August but some species are known to breed outside these limits.

 

The applicant's/landowners' attention is directed to the advice contained in the letter provided by Wessex Water dated 4th November 2014.
