Jim Pitt spoke in objection to the application

Jennifer Davies of English Heritage, spoke in support of the application

Chris Bally of English Heritage spoke in support of the application

Cllr Chris Harris of Shrewton Parish Council spoke in objection to the application

 

The Senior Planning Officer, Lucy Minting introduced the report, which recommended that the application for a variation of the pedestrian and cycle route scheme agreed under Condition 27 of S/2009/1527 for the proposed permissive pedestrian and cycle path on the grassed over section of the former A344 to now be open to the public by 1st October 2017, to allow the grass surface to be sufficiently established, be approved subject to conditions.

 

Attention was drawn to the late correspondence circulated at the meeting, detailing third party representation received from Cycling Opportunities Group for Salisbury (COGS).

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer. It was clarified that an expert from English Heritage had advised that the grass was not ready to be walked on.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee as detailed above.

 

The Unitary Division Member, Cllr Fred Westmoreland then spoke in support of the application, noting that he could see no justifiable reason to refuse this as the extension was only three months away.

 

He acknowledged the frustrations of the local residents over the way English Heritage had delivered works at the site over the years.

 

Cllr Westmoreland moved the motion of Approval in line with Officers recommendation. This was seconded by Cllr Hewitt.

 

A debate followed where key issues raised included that over time a grass track on chalk, would over time wear away and would need to be replaced.

 

The Committee noted the reassurance of the applicant that they would not apply for any further extension in the future.

 

Resolved

That planning permission be APPROVED in line with Officers recommendation, with the following conditions:

 

 

(1) The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans:

Public Participation

Dr J Eastern spoke in objection to the application

Darryl Rogers (Agent) spoke in support of the application

Cllr Stephen Gledhill, Coombe Bissett & Homington PC

 

The Planning Officer, Joe Richardson, introduced the report, which recommended that the application for extensions, alterations and construction of a replacement garage at Caddens, Lower Road, Homington, be approved with conditions.

 

It was noted that secondary access to the site was maintained, and that it was felt that the proposed works would improve the properties appearance within the street-scene.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer, details were sought on the access to the property, where it was conformed that this would be increased from one to two points. There had been no objections from Highways, as they believed the visibility was sufficient. The proposals included parking for up to 4 vehicles.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee as detailed above.

 

The Unitary Division Member, Cllr Clewer then spoke in objection to the application. He noted that Homington was a small pretty village with little parking. The applicant had worked hard to try and overcome some of the objections, however he felt that the proposed extension was too big for the plot. The pictures shown did not show the development as it would be and the proposed wall did not fit in with the street scene.

 

Cllr Devine moved the motion of Objection against Officers recommendation, on the grounds of over development and that the property was in a conservation area. This was seconded by Cllr Britton

 

A debate followed where key issues raised included the scale of the extension was too large for the site, and the position of the garage to the front of the property was not appropriate and would be more acceptable if it had been positioned to the rear, where there was plenty of space, and would be more in-keeping with the rural character with the village.

 

The proposed development would see half of the entire site developed, whereas before it was only approximately one fifth.

 

Resolved

That planning permission be REFUSED, for the following reasons:

 

  1. The application site is located in the village of Homington within the Homington Conservation Area and Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement is characterised by traditional dwellings interspersed by modest infill development. The proposed works would produce a substantially larger property, with a large detached garage located close to the narrow main road. Combined with the planned boundary works, the resultant development would be unsympathetic to the modest traditional character of the settlement, and set an undesirable precedent for similar development within the surrounding Conservation Area and wider Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Therefore the proposal is considered to be contrary to the terms of Core Policies 51, 57 and 58 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, the NPPF and Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Building and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 191b

·         17/01402/FUL – 79 Southampton Road, Clarendon, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP5 3DG

Cllr Dean noted that since the refusal of application 16/09793/FUL -  90 Fisherton Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP2 7QY (Baroushka) at the last meeting, no action had yet been taken to implement the decision. The Chairman advised that the matter be taken to the enforcement Officers as this was not a matter for the Planning Committee
