Eastern Area Planning Committee - Thursday 11 July 2024 3.00 pm

The Eastern Area Planning Committee granted outline planning permission for the erection of a self-build dwelling in Seend, Wiltshire. The committee agreed that the application would make a contribution towards addressing the demand for self-build properties, and that this outweighed any visual harm. They also agreed that, while the proposed development would create a reliance on private vehicles, the presence of a regular bus service meant that the site was more sustainable than some.
