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:
1621/16/FUL
Waves Edge, Challaborough, TQ7 4JB
Parish: Bigbury
Erect replacement dwelling
Case Officer Update:
N/A
Speakers included:
Objector - Mr John Simes: Parish Council – Cllr Bryan
Carson: Ward Member: Cllr Huntley
Recommendation:
Conditional Approval
During discussion, a number of
Members stated their concerns that the height of the proposal would
upset the current flow of the development line that had existed for
many years, and this would be particularly noticeable from the
South West Coast Path. Members
generally did not object to the volume increase of the proposal
compared to the existing dwelling, and accepted that the proposal
could be dug down to accommodate the replacement dwelling, but did
not accept that the roof line be altered, particularly as this site
was within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Committee Decision: Refusal
Reasons:
The proposed development by reason of
its’ height and impact upon the South West Coastal Path would
be an incongruous feature in the streetscene and landscape, out of keeping with, and
harmful to, the character of the settlement and South Devon AONB.
As such it is contrary to policies DP1, High quality design, and
DP2, Landscape
character, of the adopted Development
Policies DPD; policies CS7 Design and CS9 Landscape and historic
environment of the adopted Core Strategy and paragraphs 64 and 115
of the NPPF which require a high standard of design and seek to
protect the landscape character of the South Devon AONB and
policies TTV32 Residential extensions and replacement dwellings in
the countryside, DEV1 protecting
amenity
and the environment, DEV24 landscape character and DEV27
Nationally
Protected Landscapes of the emerging Joint Local Plan.
