DM.58/19         

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:

 

a)       3964/18/HHO       “The Boathouse”, South Town, Dartmouth

 

Town:  Dartmouth

 

Householder application for construction of external access lift, associated bridge link and other external works

 

Case Officer Update:             Two more objections received but no new, unconsidered reasons.  Further to site visit, officer confirmed that the retaining wall does belong to South Hams District Council.

 

Speakers included:                Objector – Mr John Langridge:  Supporter – Mr Alex Bateman:  Town Council representative – Cllr Dawn Shepherd:  Ward Member – Cllr Hilary Bastone

 

Recommendation:          Conditional approval

 

Committee Decision:     Conditional approval

 

Conditions:   1.    Standard time limit

2.       Accord with plans

3.       Construction Management Plan – prior to commencement

4.       Details of lighting – prior to installation of lift car

5.       Lift car to return to lower level after use

6.       Details of gate/access – prior to installation

7.       Details of materials/finishes – prior to installation

8.        Any works to boundary wall to match existing wall

 

 

b)       3703/18/OPA       Land at SX 651560 – Filham, Ivybridge

 

Town:  Ivybridge East & Ermington and Ugborough

 

Development: READVERTISEMENT (Revised Plans Received) Hybrid application for the erection of up to 200 dwellings, comprising the following: Phase 1 – detailed application for the erection of 94 dwellings (C3), formation of access with Exeter Road (B2131), new spine road, internal roads and footpaths, surface water infiltration ponds, landscaping, ground and utilities works and associated infrastructure; and Phase 2 - outline application for up to 106 dwellings (C3) with all matters reserved except for access; strategic landscaping, surface water drainage works, highway works and diversions and associated infrastructure.

 

Case Officer Update:      Nothing found during the phase one archaeological site investigation.  Application was withdrawn from the last Development Management Committee meeting to allow clarification of the David’s Lane crossing point from phase one to phase two, which has now been done.  The CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) has requested £80,925 for a health contribution to meet increased demand following site occupation which has resulted in the addition of another condition.  Two more LORs (letters of representation) have been received including one from Ivybridge Health Centre.  There were several corrections to the report:  Condition 31 listed on page 27 at the start of the report refers to reserved matters in error and should instead be “Development in accordance with the submitted Energy Strategy Statement”. Where written in full on page 61 at the end of the report, this condition should also be numbered 31.  In the proposal description on page 31 the numbers of dwellings referred to for each phase should be updated to read that Phase 1 is for 94 dwellings and Phase 2 for the remaining 106 dwellings which totals the 200 across the whole site which the application seeks.  Condition 9 of full consent shall be amended to remove the reference to need to include additional pathways.  Conditions relating to drainage and phasing apply.  Affordable Homes Specialist is now happy with the housing mix and locations within the site.

 

                                               Plans for biodiversity must involve Members when they are being drawn up.  Conditions have been amended as set out below.

 

Speakers included:         Supporter – Mr Robin Upton:  Ward Members – Cllrs Victor Abbott, Karen Pringle, and Tom Holway

 

Recommendation:          Subject to the results of the ongoing archaeological site investigations and pending any updated advice from Devon County Council Historic Environment Team that the Committee delegate to HoP Lead Development Management, in conjunction with Chairman to conditionally grant planning permission, subject to a Section 106 legal obligation.

 

Committee Decision:     Conditional approval
