DM.37/20
The Committee considered the details
of the planning application 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:
7a) 1585/20/FUL
Land adjacent to Dartmouth Park and Ride site, Wessex Way,
Dartmouth
Parish: Dartmouth and
East Dart
Development:
Construction of new two storey Health and Well-being Centre and
associated external works (READVERTISED).
Case Officer Updates:
Following the tree officer’s holding objection, there had
been a revision to the number of trees to be removed resulting in a
reduction from around 15 down to 7 with more mature trees
remaining. The holding objection had
therefore been lifted;
Proposed revisions to Conditions 2, 3 and 4 were highlighted;
A request had been received from Devon County Council (DCC)
Drainage department whereby the drainage condition was to be
pre-commencement but agreement had been reached for this to be
pre-construction beyond slab level.
The Biodiversity Officer had raised concerns regarding the western
hedge as this was a bat fly zone, but the amended plans, with
reduced tree loss, had seen these concerns lifted;
Devon County Council Highways originally raised concerns about the
layout which had been resolved with the amended plans. However, there remained concerns regarding the
amount of free parking for the Health and Wellbeing Hub, which was
felt could be insufficient. Therefore
DCC had asked for a Section 106 Agreement to be entered into
whereby, if parking over-spilled into nearby residential areas
then, a contribution would be given to implement a residents’
permit scheme. Some local residents had expressed concern over the
out of town location but the area was noted as being well served by
public transport (although this was disputed by the Objector) with
other services nearby giving the area sustainability in its own
right.
Speakers included: Objector – Ms
L Gunnigle; Ward Members – Cllrs H Bastone, J Hawkins, and R
Rowe;
Committee Decision:
That approval be delegated to the Head of Development Management,
in conjunction with the Chairman of the Committee to conditionally
grant planning permission, subject to a Section 106 legal
obligation for the following: A contribution towards the design and
implementation for a residents’ parking scheme on surrounding
streets, at any time over the next 10 years, should on street
parking for the use of this facility spill into such areas.
(NB. in the event that the Section 106 legal Agreement remains
unsigned six months after this resolution, that the application
would be reviewed by the Head of Development Management in
consultation with the Chairman of the Committee, and, if no
progress were made, delegated authority would be given to the Head
of Development Management to refuse the application in the absence
of an agreed S106 Agreement).

2. Accord with plans
3. No external lighting until agreed with LPA
