Public Participation

Lucy Patterson spoke in support of the application

Melanie Latham spoke in support of the application

The Senior Planning Officer, Lucy Minting introduced the report, which recommended that the application for proposed alterations, replacement ground floor & new 1st floor rear extensions (Resubmission of 17/00328/FUL and 17/00693/LBC) be refused.

It was noted that the site was in the Wilton conservation area and the special regard to preserving listed buildings.

The application proposed to demolish all of the red brick range, and the demolition of the roof structure over the garden room.

Member then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer. It was clarified that the veranda would be re-roofed.

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

The Unitary Division Member Cllr Pauline Church then spoke in support of the application, noting that this prop has laid derelict for 20 years, unloved and unlived in. The proposed quality of materials craftmanship and design was superb.

The rear elevation did not have the same grandeur as the front. Historic England had made their recommendations but had not been on site.

Cllr Westmoreland moved the motion of approval this was seconded by Cllr Hewitt.

A debate followed where key issues raised included that the proposed development was sympathetic to the building, which had been deteriorating quite rapidly, putting new life in to this building that could last another 100 years.

The Conservation Officer was not in support of the proposals. This was a major re-invention, far more major than an alteration to just window frames.

The Committee then voted on the motion of approval.
