New house for Tisbury refused.
November 24, 2010 8:04 AM
An application to build a 2-bed house on part of the residential curtilage of 106 Malthouse on the edge of Tisbury was refused by the southern area planning committee on November 18th despite being recommended by officers for approval.
Councillors agreed with the parish council's objection on the grounds of design, parking, and drainage.
Three residents also objected for the same reasons.
The site is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Housing Policy Boundary, and an area of archaeological significance.
The planners claimed that, "The proposal is considered acceptable, as it would be in keeping with character of the area ... and the visual impact of the dwelling would not be significant."
However the committee decided to refuse on the grounds that: "The proposed dwelling, due to a combination of its overall design & scale, the restricted nature of the site, and the restricted nature of its parking/turning area would be out of keeping with the more spacious character of the surrounding rural area, and would result in a cramped development with limited level of amenity space to the occupiers.
The proposal would therefore be contrary to the aims and objectives of saved polices G2, D2 of the adopted Salisbury District Local Plan."
