(b)Application No:  3451/18/FUL  Ward: Buckland Monachorum

 

Site Address: Challoch Bungalow, The Crescent, Crapstone

 

READVERTISEMENT (Revised Plans) Development of 3 no detached four bedroom dwellings with integral garages, new access road and external works (Resubmission of 1697/18/FUL)

 

Case Officer Update:        The garages were external not integral, and the report should state that Highways comment was ‘standing advice’.  Natural England had commented they had no objection, subject to inclusion of a condition.  Five further letters of representation had been received objecting to the scheme.  One objection stated lack of sufficient information on landscaping.  Members had received a copy of the recent appeal decision whereby a proposal for four dwellings on this site had been dismissed.  In response to questions raised on site, the ground level would not be much different to the existing ground level of the bunglow as the ‘plinth’ was not to be removed.

 

Speakers included:          Objector – Mr Andrew Price; Supporter – Mr Ed Persse and local Ward Members – Cllr R Cheadle and Cllr P R Sanders

 

RECOMMENDATION: Conditional Approval

 

During discussion, a number of Members raised concerns over the density of the proposal, and it being out of keeping with the character of ‘The Crescent’.  Members made particular reference to the site being the entrance to ‘The Crescent’ and immediately adjacent to open moorland. The parish council reiterated that they were not against a replacement dwelling on the site, but that three dwellings was too many and the village already had plenty of four bedroomed houses.

 

COMMITTEE DECISION:          Refusal

 

Reasons:

The proposed scheme by reason of its design, density and layout will have a significant detrimental impact upon this section of "The Crescent" and the adjacent moorland. As such it fails to reinforce local distinctiveness or add to the overall visual quality of the area. The development is therefore considered contrary to the advice provided within the National Planning Policy Framework notably, but not limited to paragraphs 124, 127, 128 and 130 and policies SPT1, SPT2, DEV20, DEV23 and DEV25 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.
