Issue - meetings

Public participation:

Mr Patrick Oetiker spoke in support of the application

The Planning Officer presented the report which recommended approval and drew attention to the late list of additional information.

A debate ensued regarding the proposed design, amenity of the adjacent public house and potential overdevelopment of the site.

Resolved:

That the application be refused for the following reasons:

The proposed development by reason of its design, shape, and form would result in an incongruous and alien form of development at odds with the local vernacular such that it would fail to respect or enhance the character and appearance of the area, its architectural characteristics, the materials of adjoining buildings and would not promote or re-enforce local distinctiveness. As such the proposal would be contrary to saved policies D2 and G2 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan and advice in Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development.
