DM.59/20       

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)    0227/20/FUL     Bantham Estate Yard, Bantham

 

Parish:  Thurlestone

 

Development:   Erection of new Estate & Harbour Office; and granting of temporary 18 month consent for continued use of land for siting of portacabins and associated parking of vehicles for use as temporary estate office

 

Case Officer Update:                          

The Case Officer’s report outlined one letter of support, but since writing the report, the Council had received a second.  There had also been a representation received from Thurlestone Parish Council.  The Parish Council had read the supporting comments from the Applicant’s Agent which stated that the Parish Council supported the application.  However, the Parish Council wished to clarify that, whilst they accepted the need for a new Estate Office near the centre of operations, they had not said that a new building would be of benefit, nor that the Parish Councillors site visit was also from the Coronation Boathouse, and the Parish Council had not said the views were better from the proposed location.  However, the Parish Council did agree that the Boathouse was not a practical alternative due to the potential for flooding of the ground floor.  The Case Officer confirmed that she had also received five late Letters of Representation in objection, however no new matters were raised.  It was confirmed that a planning application had been received by the Council for the Boathouse to become a restaurant.
