Old Sarum clinic turned down by planners
A FORMER turnpike tollhouse at Old Sarum will stay as it is for the time being after planners turned down an application to transform it into offices for a healthcare clinic.
The owner of The Beehive Cottage at Amesbury Road had applied for planning permission to convert the cottage into offices, with a flat above, and to build a clinic for complimentary medicine next to it.
Planning officers recommended the application be approved but members of Salisbury District Council's southern area committee turned it down at a meeting held on Thursday, on the grounds of sustainability, pollution and preservation of a listed building.
Under the council's policy healthcare facilities also have to be within or next to an existing settlement and councillors did not feel future development planned at Old Sarum was enough to justify the location of the clinic.
