Minutes:

Public Participation

Karen Stokes (Applicant), spoke in support of the application

Trudi Dean spoke on behalf of Laverstock & Ford PC

 

The Planning Officer, Tom Collins, presented the application for the single storey front extension.

 

The Officer summarised an update from Laverstock & Ford parish council to reiterate its objection.

 

The application was recommended for Approval with conditions, as set out in the report attached to the agenda.

 

Material considerations detailed in the report included:

·         Principle of development

·         Scale and design, impact to character and appearance of area

·         Neighbour amenity

 

It was noted that the dwelling was set back from the neighbouring property and road with a mix of styles of architecture along the Streetscene. The extension would be shielded by the side gable of the neighbouring property.

 

Members then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer,

where the position of the proposed extension was clarified in relation to the neighbouring properties.

 

Members of the public as detailed above, then had the opportunity to speak on

the application.

 

The applicant would require disabled adaptations to her property in the future, having the proposed extension would enable her to continue living in her home in the ground floor rooms. The extension was of a similar size to two other dwellings in the neighbourhood and not considered to be detrimental to the neighbouring properties

 

The parish council representative noted its objection based on the large scale to the front of the property, the sloping nature of the site and over development of the plot.

 

Local Member Cllr Ian McLennan spoke on the application noting the already built large extension at the rear, the affected view of the other neighbouring properties, amounting to a loss of amenity.

 

He drew attention to the covenant which applied to the estate but noted that it was a civil matter and not a planning consideration.

 

Cllr McLennan then moved the motion of Refusal for the reasons as stated. This was seconded by Cllr Dalton.

 

The Committee discussed the application, the main points included clarification from the presentation slides on the extent of the extension in comparison to the side wall of the neighbouring property. The support of the neighbour subject to conditions was also noted.

 

After discussion, the Committee voted on the motion of Refusal. The motion failed. 

 

The Chairman, Cllr Hocking then moved the motion of Approval in line with Officer recommendation, subject to the conditions set out in the report.

 

This was seconded by Cllr Wayman.

 

An amendment to add a condition restricting the hours of construction was made by Cllr Dalton this was supported by Cllr Hocking and Wayman.

 

The Committee voted on the motion of Approval with the added condition to restrict the hours of construction, as set out by the Officer.

 

It was,

 

Resolved:

 

That application PL/2022/00560 be Approved in line with Officer recommendation, subject to the following conditions:

 

1.The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years

from the date of this permission.

Public Participation

Caroline Everette (Agent) spoke in support of the application

Trudi Dean spoke on behalf of Laverstock & Ford PC

 

The Senior Planning Officer, Lynda King, drew attention to the late correspondence circulated at the meeting, giving a summary of the content before presenting the application for the erection of 4 terraced dwellings with parking, amenity areas and a new access road.

 

There were no objections from the statutory consultees, however Ecology, had requested an amended condition, and Highways, had requested a southern drop kerb be included.

 

The application was recommended for Approval with conditions, as set out in the report and late correspondence.

 

Material considerations detailed in the report included:

 

·         Principle

·         Highway safety

·         Drainage

·         Layout

·         Impact on residential amenities of adjacent commercial operation

 

It was noted that it was a brown field site, just outside of the urban area, suitable for redevelopment.

 

The land sloped down at the rear, with a section of the site to be retained for continued use as a coach business, with office and parking. A section of coach parking would be removed, and the two existing dwellings would be retained.

 

The proposal was of a contemporary design, in keeping with the other development on the Old Sarum development. It was noted that the site would not be particularly visible from the road.

 

There was existing approval for a development of 6 dwellings, granted in 2021.

 

Members then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer,

where it was clarified that the previously granted permission for 6 dwellings was still valid. If this application was granted, the applicant would have the option to build either permission.

 

The footpath between plots 1 and 2 would allow access to the rear of the properties.

 

Electric charging points were included on each of the new parking spaces as well as on the spaces for the existing two properties.

 

The current application was for four 3 bed units, whereas the previously approved was for six 4 bed units.

 

Members of the public as detailed above, then had the opportunity to speak on

the application, some of the main points related to the design, quality of materials, retained employment use, protection of the amenity area, comparison to other local mixed-use sites.

 

It was noted that the flooding concerns raised related to fields which were in the ownership of a local farmer, and not part of the development site.

 

The Laverstock & Ford parish council representative spoke in objection, noting flooding, access, design, and the impact of mixed use on residents.

 

The statement of Local Member Cllr Andy Oliver, who had given apologies, was read by Cllr Hocking. It focused on the areas of objection which had been put forward by Laverstock & Ford PC, which were noise, design, safety, and flooding.

 

Cllr Hocking then moved the motion of refusal for the reasons given above. This was seconded by Cllr Mclennan.

 

The Committee then discussed the application where it was noted that the reasons for refusal had been addressed by means  ...  view the full minutes text for item 104.
