The Planning Officer presented the report and drew the committee’s attention to the late correspondence.    He explained that at the meeting on 16 June 2011, members determined to approve the above application subject to the wording of the suggested list of conditions being delegated to officers, and, brought back to the committee for agreement.  A brief debate ensued and it was

 

Resolved:

 

That the application be APPROVED for the following reasons:

 

National and local guidance supports small scale business development in rural areas. The repair and maintenance of vehicles supports the vitality and viability of the local economy and so the Planning Committee, determined that the proposed development accords with the provisions of the Development Plan, as the proposal will provide enhanced services and facilities for the village (policy G1 Aims of the Local Plan) and create additional employment (policy E17 Employment) supporting the continued vitality of the village; so notwithstanding that the scale and design of the development is not in keeping with the locality and there is limited off-street car parking; subject to a contamination investigation and if necessary a programme of decontamination, and conditions regarding noise and hours of operation, the proposal would not adversely affect the amenity of neighbours (policy G2 General Criteria for Development).

 

And subject to the following conditions

 

1 Standard time duration

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.

 

2 External materials to be approved

No development shall commence on site until details and samples of the materials to be used for the external walls and roofs have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

REASON: In the interests of visual amenity and the character and appearance of the area.

 

POLICY: G2 General criteria for development

 

3 Wall to be repaired, details and materials to be approved

Prior to commencement of the development hereby approved, a schedule (and drawings as necessary), detailing repairs and related alterations to the front boundary wall, shall be submitted to the local planning authority for approval in writing. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved schedule and drawings.

 

REASON: In the interests of visual amenity.

 

POLICY: G2 General criteria for development

S/2011/0702 - 46 Rambridge Crescent, Salisbury, SP2 9JE

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Planning Officer presented the report and drew attention to the late correspondence which detailed a response received from the Highways department.  The Planning Officer also drew attention to a unilateral undertaking presented by the applicant which addresses reason for refusal no. 2 relating to open space contributions.  With this reason for refusal no. 2 was withdrawn.

 

 

A debate ensued with concerns regarding parking issues being raised.

 

Resolved

 

That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

The proposal, by reason of the inadequate provision of off-street parking and the insufficient manoeuvrability space of the proposed two car parking spaces, would encourage parking on the highway with consequent risk of additional hazards to all users of the road and is therefore considered to adversely affect both highway safety and the amenities of the neighbours contrary to Salisbury District Local Plan policy G2 and the Wiltshire Local Transportation Plan 2011-2026.
