Summary
A detailed planning consent has been granted for a detached two-bedroom house in a desirable market town location, some 13 miles south of Warminster close to the borders of Dorset and Somerset.

The house will sit to the front of the plot between other detached houses with a pedestrian access from this street and a vehicle access and parking to the rear. The house is in a conservation area. The materials for the new dwelling will be stone walls, painted timber windows and doors, a pitched roof with clay tiles and two dormer windows in the north and south elevations.
The Site
The plot is approximately 970sq.ft. and currently has a small garage and lean-to to the north of the plot to be removed.
