DM.48/21             

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)      2369/21/FUL            “Land opposite Lyndale”, Onslow Rd, Salcombe

Town:  Salcombe Town Council

Development:   Proposed residential development of two detached dwellings on vacant land. (Revised scheme of application 3262/18/FUL).

This application had been deferred before the start of the Committee meeting.

6b)      0942/21/FUL            The Thatches, Thurlestone, TQ7 3NJ

                                                  Parish:  Salcombe Parish Council

Development:  Replacement detached garage/store.

Case Officer Update:                                        

It was confirmed that the site was outside the boundary of the Neighbourhood Plan area for Thurlestone, but was within the boundaries of both the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Heritage Coastal Area (HCA).  Although the building was considered to be worthy of local heritage status, the Heritage Specialist had confirmed that it did not meet the criteria necessary to attain Non Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA) status.  It was also confirmed that there was nothing to stop the current owners demolishing the building if they so wished. An outbuilding there had established the principle for a replacement outbuilding.  It was confirmed that the Heritage Specialist had made a suggestion to record the building photographically before demolishing as the building was an example from the first wave of incomers coming into the South Hams area with increased car travel in the 1930s.

Case Officer Update:                                        

Devon County Council Highways had originally not objected to the application but had recently raised an objection as they now requested that pedestrian access be included as part of the application. The Highways Officer confirmed that the previous application, made to Devon County Council, for the waste transfer facility had had the same objection from Highways, and the County Council Development Management Committee had approved the application nonetheless.

The Case Officer confirmed that the mix of traffic to the proposed site and to the recycling centre would have very little overlap.
