Land At Hampton Park/Bishopdown Farm, Salisbury - S106a Application S/2012/552 Supporting documents:
Minutes: Liz Anthony, on behalf of Bishopsdown farm Residents Association, spoke in objection to the application
Colin Froude, on behalf of Bishopsdown farm Residents Association, spoke in objection to the application
James Roberston, on behalf of Royal Society and Association of Salisbury City Council Tax Payers, spoke in objection to the application
Mark Flood of Insight Town Planning, spoke in support of the application
Ron Champion, Chairman of Laverstock Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application
The Planning Officer introduced the report which requested the committee to consider a section 106a application to discharge two planning obligations relating to two defined areas of land.
The Planning Officer then outlined the issues and explained that the test would be to determine if the legal agreements still served a useful purpose.
A debate ensued during which issues such as whether the agreements did in fact still serve a useful purpose, the effect of discharging the legal agreements whilst the judicial review in relation to the Hampton Park 2 development was in progress, and how best to protect the land, which had been the wish of Salisbury Council when the original application had been approved, were raised.
It was
RESOLVED
That the request to discharge the agreements associated with application scheme S/1991/1666 be refused for the following reasons:
The Land subject of this S106A application is considered by local people to be an essential landscape buffer between two parish communities and serves as a strategic rural landscape in the overall setting of Salisbury. The clauses within the legal agreements subject of this S106A application were imposed in the early 1990’s at a time when the area adjacent to the Land was changing radically from open countryside to a village environment. The clauses imposed protect the Land by restricting development and uses indefinitely, reflecting local concerns and promises made.
Whilst the clauses within the Agreements will be discharged if the development subject of application S/2009/1943 commences, at this time, this particular development has not commenced, and is subject of a legal challenge. Therefore, and despite the allocation of the land in the South Wiltshire Core Strategy, there remains a possibility that the Land may not be developed for the foreseeable future. Consequently, and following significant public representation at Area Committee which indicated clear public support for the protection of the Land, the Local Planning Authority considers that until the outcome of the legal challenge is known, the clauses within the Agreements still serve a useful purpose. As a result, the Local Planning Authority hereby confirms that it refuses to discharge the Agreements subject of the S106A application.
