Development: READVERTISEMENT (Revised Plans Received) Hybrid application for the erection of up to 200 dwellings, comprising the following: Phase 1 – detailed application for the erection of 94 dwellings (C3), formation of access with Exeter Road (B2131), new spine road, internal roads and footpaths, surface water infiltration ponds, landscaping, ground and utilities works and associated infrastructure; and Phase 2 - outline application for up to 106 dwellings (C3) with all matters reserved except for access; strategic landscaping, surface water drainage works, highway works and diversions and associated infrastructure.

Case Officer Update:      Nothing found during the phase one archaeological site investigation.  Application was withdrawn from the last Development Management Committee meeting to allow clarification of the David’s Lane crossing point from phase one to phase two, which has now been done.  The CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) has requested £80,925 for a health contribution to meet increased demand following site occupation which has resulted in the addition of another condition.  Two more LORs (letters of representation) have been received including one from Ivybridge Health Centre.  There were several corrections to the report:  Condition 31 listed on page 27 at the start of the report refers to reserved matters in error and should instead be “Development in accordance with the submitted Energy Strategy Statement”. Where written in full on page 61 at the end of the report, this condition should also be numbered 31.  In the proposal description on page 31 the numbers of dwellings referred to for each phase should be updated to read that Phase 1 is for 94 dwellings and Phase 2 for the remaining 106 dwellings which totals the 200 across the whole site which the application seeks.  Condition 9 of full consent shall be amended  ...  view the full minutes text for item DM.59/19
