Issue - meetings

Public Participation:

Councillor George Flower, West Tisbury Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application

Councillor Tony Deane, the local member, spoke in objection to the application

The Planning Officer introduced the report which recommended approval.

A debate ensued, focused on issues of overdevelopment of the site and the quality of the vehicular access to/from the proposed building and it was

Resolved:

That the application be refused for the following reason:

The proposed dwelling, due to a combination of its overall design & scale, the restricted nature of the site, and the restricted nature of its parking/turning area would be out of keeping with the more spacious character of the surrounding rural area, and would result in a cramped development with limited level of amenity space to the occupiers.

The proposal would therefore be contrary to the aims and objectives of saved polices G2, D2 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan.
