Resolved:
That planning
application 26/22/00003 for the erection of
1no. dwelling with works to existing gardener's hut at The Walled
Garden, Broadmead Lane, Edington, Bridgwater, Somerset be REFUSED
for the following reasons:
 
The proposed
introduction of a new dwelling into the confines of the grade II
listed walled garden would erode the garden setting of the grade
II* listed Edington House and permanently alter the relationship
between the house and its former garden.  The proposal would
cause irreversible harm to the significance and setting of the
heritage assets which is not outweighed by any public benefits and
is therefore contrary to policy D26 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan
2011-2032 and paragraphs 201, 205, 206 and 208 of the National
Planning Policy Framework.
