Agenda item

Listed building application for the conversion of a rural building to create a single dwelling (resubmission) and the erection of a bat house.

Public Participation

 

• Mr Chris Powell – spoke in support of the application.

 

Senior Planning Officer, Olivia Tresise, introduced a report which recommended that the listed building application for the conversion of a rural dwelling to create a two bedroomed dwelling and the erection of a bat house, be approved, subject to conditions. The main issue in the consideration of the application was stated to be the impact on a listed building. The Senior Planning Officer reiterated that the changes to the 2021 application had addressed the concerns from Wiltshire Council’s Conservation Officer.

 

The Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions to the Senior Planning Officer.

 

The member of the public had the chance to present their views to the Committee as listed above but was satisfied that he had made his points under the previous item when the Committee had approved full planning permission.

 

The Unitary Division Member, Cllr Martin Smith, also had the opportunity to speak, but had no further comments to add to his speech under the previous item.

 

It was noted that it was possible for a member to withdraw their call-in of an application, but only prior to the publication of the agenda.

 

So the Committee had something to debate, Cllr Smith, seconded by Cllr Elizabeth Threlfall, proposed that the listed building application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report. It was then:
