The Committee considered the details
of the planning applications prepared by the Planning Case Officers
as presented in the agenda papers, and considered also the comments
of Town and Parish Councils together with other representations
received, which were listed within the presented agenda reports,
and RESOLVED that:
a)
3193/18/ARM Land to the rear of Green
Park Way, Chillington
Parish: Stokenham
Reserved Matters application for the development of 64 no.
dwellings (including market, affordable and retirement housing),
landscaping and associated works following grant of Outline consent
0771/16/0PA)
Case Officer Update:
Since agenda published – 9 further letters of representation
received raising new issues including:
-
A request for more details of the proposed
sub-station and swales;
-
Impact of increased population on the SSSI (Site of
Special Scientific Interest) and pollution;
-
Continued concerns over the proposed Drainage
Strategy;
-
A detailed response from the objector who had
registered to speak in response to the Devon County Council
Briefing Note on the proposed Drainage Strategy.
Speakers included:
Objector – Dr Bennett; Supporter – Mr
Lewis: Ward Member – Cllr
Brazil
Recommendation:
Conditional Approval
Notwithstanding the advice of the Devon County Council (DCC)
Drainage Officers, a number of Members during the debate stated
their grave concerns over the proposed drainage scheme and the
comments made by the objector had only served to exacerbate these

Members were of the view that the proposed drainage scheme would
have a detrimental impact on the landscaping scheme and would be
overbearing on those dwellings sited at the lower right hand side
of the site.
Committee Decision: Refusal
Reasons:
The proposed layout and landscaping of the scheme would not be able
to support a satisfactory drainage scheme and is contrary to Joint
Local Plan Policy DEV 35.

Bastone had declared an interest in this application).
Recommendation:
Conditional Approval
In discussion, some Members highlighted the statement in Joint
Local Plan Policy DEV 25 whereby any development within the Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) should ‘conserve and
enhance’ the AONB. These Members
were strongly of the view that this application would not comply

dwellings. Furthermore, some Members
felt that a new three-bed dwelling would not meet a local need for
housing and considered that the proposals were therefore contrary
to JLP Policy DEV 8. The Case
