Authority: Wiltshire Council
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Kay D
Postcode: RG17 0TF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether in land use principle, the development would constitute an appropriate form of development
whether the proposal would provide adequate parking and accessibility for occupiers to avoid highway safety impacts
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chilton Foliat Conservation Area

What decided it

The development would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of Grade II Listed Buildings, causing unjustified less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets that cannot be outweighed by the primarily private benefits of the proposal.
