3976/16/FUL   Whitegates, Parsonage Road, Newton Ferrers

Parish:  Newton and Noss

 

Demolition of single dwelling and the erection of two detached dwellings

 

Case Officer Update:  Garage removed from the scheme due to concerns over impact on trees 

 

Speakers included:  Supporter – Mr Hallett:  Ward Member – Cllr Baldry

 

                        Recommendation:      Conditional Approval

 

During discussion, Members noted their concern regarding the dimensions of the proposal.  The Ward Member had stated that, in his view, the proposal represented overdevelopment of the site and a number of Members agreed.  Another Member who had attended the site visit stated that the proposal was untypical of the area and therefore the proposal represented overdevelopment and not being in keeping with the surrounding properties.  Generally, Members accepted that the proposal was smaller than a previous application that had been refused, but still felt that the proposal being discussed represented overdevelopment of the site.

                       

Committee Decision:  Refusal

 

Reasons:

The proposal had taken into account the reasons for refusal of the previous application, however, it still represented overdevelopment of the site that would result in a cramped and contrived layout that would be out of keeping with, and detrimental to, the character of the area.

 

 

3781/16/VAR  Burnside, Avonwick

Parish:  Ugborough

 

Removal of conditions 3, 4 and 6 of application 57/2943/13/VAR to allow separate residential use of ancillary building

Speakers included:  Objector – Mrs Margaret Doggett: Supporter – Mrs Lindsay Stewart: Ward Member – Cllr Holway

 

                        Recommendation:      Refusal

 

During discussion, Members commended the proposal as a good re-use of a building.  Less weight was paid to comments of the Highways officer as the access was already in residential use.

 

                        Committee Decision:  Conditional Approval

                       

                        Reasons:

The proposal represented sustainable development and was already in residential use.

 

                        Conditions:

                        1.         Accord with plans

2.         Parking and turning area to be laid out within 3 months

3.         Removal of permitted development rights

 

 

3701/16/HHO  The Green House, Newton Ferrers

Parish:  Newton Ferrers

 

Householder application for proposed detached outbuilding to be used as a boathouse

 

                        Case Officer Update:N/A

 

Speakers included:  Supporter – Mr Beveridge:  Parish Council – Cllr Alison Ansell:  Ward Member – Cllr Baldry

 

                        Recommendation:      Conditional Approval

 

During discussion, Members noted concerns in respect of light pollution, both external lighting and the impact of lighting within the building on the estuary.  Some Members felt the proposal was an extension of the house, rather than purely a boat house.  Members were also concerned that the proposal was set forward and projected into the estuary, and felt it would be more acceptable if set back into the bank.

 

                        Committee Decision:  Refusal

                       

                        Reasons:

The location of the proposed building beyond the edge of the estuary bank together with its design, with a significant level of glazing contributing to light intrusion, would not conserve the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Devon AONB. The proposal is therefore contrary to paragraph 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CS9 of the LDF Core Strategy and Policy DP2 of the LDF Development Policies DPD.
