S/2011/0914 - The Heather, Southampton Road, Alderbury, Salisbury. SP5 3AF Supporting documents:
Minutes: Public participation:
Mr Richard Cosker spoke in support of the application
Mr James Hubbard, speaking on behalf of Alderbury Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application
The Planning Officer introduced the report which was recommended for approval. Members asked questions regarding R2 contributions and access to ‘Out of the Way’. During the debate members raised concerns about issues such as the overlooking of the site, the cramped nature of the site, access issues and loss of trees.
Resolved:
Planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:
The proposal, by reason of the awkward shape of the plot and the awkward relationship between the siting of the proposed dwelling and established development, would result in a cramped and contrived development which would detract from the character and appearance of the surroundings. In particular, the plot has an uncharacteristically small front garden in relation to established development, and the gap between the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring property, ‘Out of the Way’, is uncharacteristically small. Consequently the proposal comprises an inappropriate form of backland development. This is contrary to Policies G2, D2 and H16 of the Salisbury District Local Plan and Central Government planning guidance set out in Planning Policy Statement no. 3. |
