69 Queen Alexandra Road, Salisbury, SP2 9LA

1. 1.The development, by reason of its siting, form and design, results in an incongruous and cramped form of development within the front garden of the property. Its prominent position forward of the principal elevation of the dwelling, together with its irregular form and utilitarian appearance, results in a poorly integrated addition which fails to respond positively to the character and context of the host dwelling and surrounding street scene, to the detriment of the character and visual amenity of the area. As such, the development is contrary to Core Policy 57 (i and iii) of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (2015), the design principles set out in Appendix D of the Wiltshire Design Guide SPD, and Policies DP3-DP4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, which collectively seek to ensure high-quality design that responds positively to local character and context.
2. 2.The development, by reason of the position and orientation of the garage access and the insufficient frontage available to the south, fails to provide the necessary visibility splays to enable the access to operate safely. This results in restricted visibility of pedestrians using the adjoining footway and of other highway users in the vicinity of the junction of Queen Alexandra Road and Tournament Road, resulting in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. This results in inadequate visibility of pedestrians using the adjoining footway and other highway users in the vicinity of the junction of Queen Alexandra Road and Tournament Road, resulting in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. The proposal therefore conflicts with Core Policy 61 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy and Policies TR4 and TR6 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
