Why it was refused

  1. Following a detailed site visit and an assessment of the submitted plans and the detailed planning history and the stipulations of the various planning consents related to the site, it is considered that the submitted plans are inaccurate and incomplete, with the omission of key elements of development already carried out on site, and there also being clear evidence of non-compliance with previously approved plans and planning conditions under permission PL/2022/01499. The application fails to provide a comprehensive and reliable description of the development and its associated operations, including but not limited to, parking provision, storage, lighting, landscaping, and the extent of operational activities. As a result, in the absence of sufficient and accurate supporting information, including a Landscape Visual Appraisal, and given the statutory duty to seek to further the purposes of the National Landscape, and the great weight afforded to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty, on the basis of the information submitted, the proposal fails to demonstrate that it would not result in adverse harm to the character and appearance of the area or that it complies with the Development Plan. The development would therefore be contrary to Core Policies CP51, CP57 and CP61 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, saved Policy E19 of the Salisbury District Local Plan, and the relevant provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
