Why it was refused

The proposed development would conflict with the Wiltshire settlement and delivery strategies. The application site is in a location remote from services and employment opportunities. The location does not provide a genuine choice of sustainable transport modes. It is therefore highly likely that future occupiers would be reliant on private motor vehicles for most, if not all, daily needs. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Core Policies 1, 2 & 60 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. The proposed development has been assessed on the basis of the following amended plans and details: House Type B Floor Plans Drawing 948-010 House Type B Elevations Drawing 948-011 House Type D Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-015 House Type DV1 Floor Plans Drawing 948-017 House Type DV1+ Floor Plans Drawing 948-018 House Type DV1 Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-019 House Type DV1 Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-020 House Type DV1 Elevation Option 3 Drawing 948-021 House Type DV1+ Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-022 House Type F Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-025 House Type F Elevations Option 3 Drawing 948-026 House Type F+ Elevations Option 3 Drawing 948-027 House Type M+ Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-031 House Type P Floor Plans Drawing 948-032 House Type P+ Floor Plans Drawing 948-033 House Type P Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-034 House Type P Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-035 House Type P Elevations Option 3 Drawing 948-036 House Type W Floor Plans Drawing 948-038 House Type W Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-039 House Type W Elevations Option 3 Drawing 948-040 House Type A2 Semi Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-062 House Type A3 Semi Floor Plans Drawing 948-065 House Type A3 Semi Elevations Plans Drawing 948-066 House Type A3 Semi Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-067 House Type A1M & Bungalow Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-071 Single Garage Floor & Elevation Plans Drawing 948-080 Double Garage Floor & Elevation Plans Drawing 948-081 Substation Floor and elevation plans Drawing 948-082 Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (2437_1.1, March 2025) Breeding Skylark Survey (2437_1.0, March 2025) Transport Statement (P23-1468 TR01, April 2025) Full Travel Plan (P23-1468 TR02, April 2025) Site Waste Management Plan Statement of Community Involvement (April 2025) Received 10 April 2025 Application Form Planning Statement (857/A3/AK_V1, April 2025) Design and Access Statement (April 2025) Desk Based Archaeology and Buit Heritage Assessment (P24-2576_ROO1v1_HT, 31/03/2025) Received 17 April 2025 Phase 1 Geo-environmental Desk Study (ref: 24031, 30/05/2024) Received 22 April 2025 Site Location Plan Drawing 948-110_A Type F Floorplans Drawing 948-023_A Type K & KV1 Floorplans Drawing 948-041_A Type A2 Terrace Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-075 Type A2 Semi Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-061_A Type A2 Terrace Elevations Option 1 Drawing 948-064_A Type A3 Terrace Elevations Option 2 Drawing 948-069_A Type Ashley Floorplans Drawing 948-043 Type A3 Terrace Elevations Drawing 948-073 Quadruple Garage Drawing 948-083 Type D Elevations Drawing 948-014_A Type D Floorplans Drawing 948-012_A Type Ashley Elevations Drawing 948-044 Type F+ Floorplans Drawing 948-024_A Type M+ Floorplans Drawing 948-029_A Type K & KV1 Elevations Drawing 948-042_A Air Source Heat Pump Manufacturer Details Arboricultural Report (November 2025) Archaeological Evaluation (Ref: CR2044_1, December 2025) Certificate B Notification Landscape and Visual Appraisal Addendum (November 2025) Sustainability and Energy Statement (20/11/2025) Transport Technical Note (P23-1468_TN, December 2025) Received 9 December 2025 Type P+ Elevations Drawing 948-037_B Received 12 December 2025 Type A2 Semi Floor Plans Drawing 948-060_B Type A2 Terrace Floor Plans Drawing 948-063_B Type A3 Terrace Floor Plans Drawing 948-068_B Type A1M & Bungalow Floor Plans Drawing 948-070_A Type A3 Terrace Floor Plans Drawing 948-072_A Type A2 Terrace Floor Plans Drawing 948-074_A Received 6 January 2026 Deta
