Issue - meetings

The Planning Officer introduced the report which recommended refusal.

Resolved:

That listed building consent be refused for the following reasons:

The application dwelling forms the corner part of a group of grade II listed cottages at a prominent highway junction within the village of Teffont Evias. The proposal to insert an outbuilding into the south-eastern side of the site, attached via a link at the corner of the cottages, would dramatically change the setting of the listed buildings and their visual and physical links with the streetscene. The principal (southern) elevation of Evias Cottage would be substantially affected and removed from public view, and the openness of the (eastern) frontage of the cottage group would be harmfully eroded, replaced by a much harder and higher degree of enclosure formed to the street. The proposal would therefore fail to respect the character and setting of the listed cottages, contrary to saved polices CN3 and CN5 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan and the aims and objectives of PPS5 and the Salisbury Design Guide: Creating Places.
