Members had a detailed discussion on this item, and, with the Ward Members having attended a site inspection, were concerned that the wall was significantly higher than the previous wall.  There was also concern regarding the loss of a significant view within the AONB on a frequently used footpath.

 

Committee Decision:     Refusal

 

Reasons for Refusal:

The increased height of the wall results in the harmful loss of a public amenity view from Public Footpath (Salcombe Footpath 24) within South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, contrary to the provisions of DEV1 (1), DEV20 (1), DEV20 (2), DEV23 (1, 2, 7), DEV25 (2, 3, 4, 7, 8), SALC ENV1 (a, b) and guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework, including but not limited to paragraphs, 170 and 172.
