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:

Parish:  Dartington

 

Development:   Outline application with all matters reserved, except for access, for up to 80no. residential units and associated public open space and infrastructure

 

Case Officer Update:                          

The Case Officer updated Members of a consultation response from Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust who were seeking financial contribution to mitigate the impact of the funding gap between residents occupying new dwellings and the Trust’s annually agreed contract based on previous year’s activity plus any pre-agreed additional activity for clinical services.  The officer advised that such a contribution would not meet the Regulation 122 test of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010

 

Speakers included:       Objector – Ms H Wyatt; Supporter – Mr G Hutton; Parish Council – Cllr T Turrell; Ward Member – Cllr J Hodgson;

6c)    0385/21/HHO    Lealholme, Allenhayes Road, Salcombe, TQ8 8HU

 

Parish:  Salcombe

 

Development:   Householder application for alterations to roof including dormers (resubmission of 3504/20/HHO)

 

Case Officer Update:   No update

 

Speakers included:       Objector – Mr M Alexander; Supporter – Ms K Metcalfe; Parish Council – Cllr M Fice; Ward Members – Cllrs M Long and J Pearce;

 

Ward Members:            The Ward Members outlined the important contribution to Salcombe made by this particular dwelling, which was rumoured to be linked to the Murch family, thereby increasing the heritage value of the property and its design.  The fully hipped roof was typically Edwardian and enhanced the perception of space between the neighbouring properties.  Massing and bulk would be contrary to the Conservation Area plan.

 

Debate:                       During the debate, several Members agreed with the views of the local Ward Members in that the proposed changes would be detrimental to the Conservation Area and would impact greatly on the appearance of the streetscene.  Some Members felt that it would be a shame to lose such an iconic Edwardian building, with the proposed changes impacting adversely on the scale, design, and character of the building and street.

 

 

Recommendation:      Conditional approval

                                              

Committee decision:  Refusal

 

Reasons for refusal:     Proposed development by reasons on scale, massing, and design is against conservation area, which does not enhance nor preserve beauty of area.  SP11, Dev20, Dev 21, Sal NP Salc B1, NPPF potentially too.

                        Loss of Edwardian property (Dev21)
