Agenda item

To consider and determine planning applications in the attached schedule.

(1)       07/03318/OUT – Rylands Sports Field, Stoneover Lane, Wootton Bassett – Erection of 100 Dwellings with Primary Access from Stoneover Lane (Outline)

 

            On considering a report by the Case Officer,

 

            Resolved:

 

            To amend the delegated authority granted to the Area Development Manager in September 2008 to provide that planning permission be granted subject to:-

 

            1.         Completion of Agreements to ensure:

                        (a)       Affordable Housing and Public Open Space.

(b)       The provision of alternative sports facilities takes place prior to the occupation of any residential units hereby approved.  

 

Reason

 

It is considered that removal of the requirement to link the development of the Rylands Way site with the proposed Sports Hub development in the way proposed will enable the development to proceed, whilst still securing the provision of alternative sports facilities which meet the relevant Sport England criteria.

            And for the following reason:-

            In respect of 09/02235/ADV

 

            To permit the retention of the existing signage with reduction in characters and repositioning for the following reason:-

 

            The proposed signage will preserve the architectural and historic interest of the listed building and Conservation Area.  It will therefore comply with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the advice contained in PPG15 (Planning and the Historic Environment) and Policies C3, HE1, HE4 and BD9 of the North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011. 

 

 

(3)       09/02177/FUL – Bowldown Farm, Days Lane, Kington Langley – Erection of Agricultural Worker’s Dwelling

 

            Public Participation

            Mr Roman Weston, a local resident, spoke objecting to the application.

            Mr Colin Coles, an immediate neighbour, spoke objecting to the application.

            Cllr Dr Maurice Dixon, Chairman of the Kington Langley Parish Council, spoke objecting to the proposal.

 

            On considering a report by the Case Officer and on hearing the views of Cllr Howard Greenman, the local Councillor,

 

            Resolved:

           

            To refuse planning permission for the following reason:-

 

            In the context of an earlier planning permission for similar on this site, which already provides for an acceptable vehicular access, the proposed new access arrangements would constitute the unnecessary creation of a surfaced vehicular access track across an open agricultural field.  Such works are considered to create an unnecessary adverse impact upon the character and appearance of the open countryside contrary to the provisions of Policies C3 and NE15 of the adopted North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011.    

 

 

(4)       09/02254/FUL – Land and Buildings at Peterborough Farm, Dauntsey Lock, Chippenham – Erection of New Dwelling on Footprint of Original Agricultural Buildings

 

            Public Participation

            Mr Viv Vines, the agent, spoke in favour of the application.

 

            On considering a report by the Case Officer and on hearing the views of Cllr Toby Sturgis, the local Member, presented by Cllr Chuck Berry,

 

            Resolved:

 

            To refuse planning permission for the following reason:-

 

The proposed development is a new dwelling in the open countryside with no special justification.  As such, the development is contrary to well established planning policy at the national and local level, notably PPS7, PPG13 as well as Policy H4 of the adopted North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011.

 

(5)       10/00320/FUL – 21 Park Lane, Corsham – Extension to Dwelling, Double Garage, Parking and Vehicular Access

  

            Public Participation

            Mrs Elizabeth Weathers, the applicant, spoke in favour of the application.

 

            The Committee considered a report by the Case Officer.  It was noted that a further letter of objection had been received in respect of the proposed car parking arrangements. On hearing the views of Cllr Alan Macrae, the local Member,

 

            Resolved:

 

To grant planning permission 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 materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match in material, colour and texture those used in the existing building.

 

REASON: In the interests of visual amenity and the character and appearance of the area.

 

POLICY-C3

 

(3)       No part of the development hereby approved shall be occupied or first brought into use until the parking area shown on the approved plans has been consolidated, surfaced and laid out in accordance with the approved details. This area shall be maintained and remain available for this use at all times thereafter.

 

REASON: To ensure that adequate provision is made for parking within the site

in the interests of highway safety.

 

POLICY- C3

 

Reason

 

The proposed development by reason of its scale, design and siting is in keeping with the host dwelling and given the extension of nearby properties in a similar manner, would not be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the area.

 

Furthermore the proposal would not be detrimental to the privacy and amenity of adjacent residents or highway safety.

 

Accordingly, the proposal complies with Policies C3 and H8 of the adopted the North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011.
