DM.16/21       

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:

6a)    1944/19/FUL      Land between 19 & 21 Clayman’s Path, Ivybridge, PL21 9UZ

Town:  Ivybridge

Development:   Construction of new dwelling with associated groundworks and landscaping.

Case Officer Update:    

The Case Officer confirmed that this application had been presented to the last Committee meeting held on 23 June 2021.  A further two letters of representation had been received, with the applicant’s response set out in the published agenda report.  The Committee had received photographs prior to this meeting, submitted by a member of the public, which contained images of the Devon County Council (DCC) wall on the nearby Persimmon estate.  Members of the Committee were reminded that this was not within the scope of this application.

It was clarified that the drainage specialist quoted at the last Committee meeting had been an in-house officer rather than employed by DCC.   Following modelling of the scheme, it had been determined that DCC’s bund wall would only overtop if the culvert were to block.  As the flood elevation scheme was a matter for DCC, the Officer recommended secondary flood mitigation measures should be put in place and therefore conditioned.  The Environment Agency had not objected and South West Water had confirmed there was sufficient capacity in the main sewer to accommodate the extra foul water should the application be built.
