It was

 

RESOLVED

 

That the application be GRANTED for the following reasons:

 

Subject to the completion of a legal agreement securing a financial contribution towards recreational open space facilities and affordable housing, it is considered that the development would be acceptable in principle, would have no significant impact in design terms, and would not result in any significant overshadowing, overdominance or overlooking to the neighbouring properties. The development would therefore accord with the aims and objectives of the development plan, having regard in particular to Local Plan policies G2, D2, and H16, which are ‘saved’ policies of the South Wiltshire Core Strategy.

 

And 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.

Reason:  To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and County Planning Act 1990.  As amended by section 5(1) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004

 

2.         Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (No.2) (England) Order 2008 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting or amending those Orders with or without modification), there shall be no additions, extensions or enlargements of the development hereby permitted and no window, dormer window or rooflight, other than those shown on the approved plans, shall be inserted in the roofslopes or side elevations of the development hereby permitted.

Reason:  In the interests of the amenity of the area and to enable the Local Planning Authority to consider individually whether planning permission should be granted for additions, extensions or enlargements- Policy G2

 

3.         No delivery of plant, equipment, materials, demolition or construction works or other building activity shall take place on Sundays or public holidays or outside the hours of 07:30 & 18:00, weekdays and 08:00 & 13:00 Saturdays.

Reason: In the interests of residential amenity- Policy G2

It was

 

RESOLVED

 

Planning Permission be GRANTED for the following reason:

 

The increase in the ridge height of the dwelling, by 150mm above the 600mm increase approved under planning permission S/2011/0527/FULL, is considered to have no significant impact on the residential amenities of the occupiers of nearby properties, the character and appearance of the dwelling and the character and appearance of the area surrounding the proposal site.  The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with the aims and objectives of the saved policies G2, D3, C6 and H16 of The Salisbury District Local Plan (which are ‘saved’ policies of the adopted South Wiltshire Core Strategy).

 

And subject to the following conditions:

 

This approval relates only to the following drawings:

 

Proposed elevations:  Drawing number:  11027/2 A  Date received by Wiltshire Council:  03/08/2012

 

Proposed cross section, proposed roof plan and proposed floor plans:  Drawing number:  11027/1  Date received by Wiltshire Council:  03/08/2012

 

Reason:  For the avoidance of doubt.

Minutes:

Public participation:

 

Mr D Carpendale, the agent, spoke in support of the application

Cllr John Wigg, representing Zeals Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application

 

The Planning Officer introduced the report, which was recommended for approval, and drew attention to the late correspondence.

 

During the debate members expressed concerns at the proximity to the churchyard and the impact on the conservation area.

 

It was

 

RESOLVED

 

That Planning Permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.The proposed detached dwelling would be positioned on a site where it would result in the loss of a view and open space or, gap between buildings and gardens that would detract from the special character of the Conservation Area. 

The proposal would also result in the loss of an open area which makes a positive contribution towards the character of the settlement whilst the impact on the view of the church from Portnells Lane and Zeals Rise, would fail to preserve and enhance the setting of the listed building and the overall character of this part of the Conservation Area.

As such the proposal is considered to be contrary to saved policies CN10, H16 - criteria (ii), CN8 and CN5 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan which, are saved policies in appendix C of the adopted South Wiltshire Core Strategy.

 

2.The proposal, in so far as the applicants have not entered into a Section 106 agreement for the provision of commuted sums for, off-site outdoor adult recreation and affordable housing, is contrary to saved policy R2 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan which, is a saved policy in appendix C of the adopted South Wiltshire Core Strategy, and Core Policy 3 (CP3) of the adopted South Wiltshire Core Strategy.
