The committee received a presentation by Area Development Manager which set out the main issues in respect of the application.  He introduced the report which recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions. He also drew Members’ attention to the late items.

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions after which the Committee received statements from members of the public as detailed above, expressing their views regarding the planning application.

Resolved:

To grant planning permission for the following reason:

The proposed development comprises a dwelling that would have no greater impact upon amenities of surrounding residential occupiers than that of the extant planning permission.  As such, the proposed dwelling would comply with the provisions of Policies C3 and H3 of the adopted North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011.

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 Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the submitted plans and documents listed below. No variation from the approved plans should be made without the prior approval of the local planning authority. Amendments may require the submission of a further application.
