a) 19/02022/FULL - Erection of dwelling, formation of new vehicular access and public footpath at Land at NGR 275194 104806 (Woolsgrove Court), Morchard Road, Devon.
The Principal Planning Officer outlined the contents of the report by way of a presentation highlighting the different aspects of the application including the location of the flood plain, the proposed site plan, block plan, elevations and floor plans.
She explained that Morchard Road is not recognised as a settlement in terms of policy COR17 and was classed as a countryside location and she provided members with revised reasons for refusal:
The harm arising from the provision of a dwelling in this countryside location, in addition to the harm arising to the character, appearance and visual amenity of the site as a result of the scale, mass and design of the proposed dwelling, was considered to significantly outweigh the benefits arising from the scheme. The proposal fails to meet the local plan policies COR1, COR2, COR7, COR9, COR12 and COR18 of the Mid Devon Core Strategy (Local Plan Part 1) and policies DM2 and DM14 of the Local Plan Part 3 (Development Management Policies) and paragraph 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Consideration was given to:
· The location of the designated flood zone and the instances of flooding on the site · The objection from Network Rail · The views of the applicant’s agent with regard to the ridge height of the proposed property being below the height of neighbouring properties. The high quality of the design of the proposed property and that it was designed to be completely carbon neutral. The proposed new footpath and crossing and that the occupants could use the railway link less than 250 yards away · The views of the acting Ward Member that occupants would not need to rely on a car as there were good bus and rail networks on the doorstep. That residential planning permission had previously been granted to approximately 15 other properties along Two Moors Way and the benefit of the new footpath and crossing which would make a difference and help children to cross the busy road
It was therefore:
RESOLVED that: the application be refused as recommended by Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration
(Proposed by the Chairman)
Notes:
i.) Cllr F W Letch and E J Berry requested that their vote against the decision be recorded ii.) Mr Randall (agent) spoke iii.) Cllr Mrs M E Squires spoke as acting Ward Member for Taw Ward
b) 19/01309/FULL - Erection of a dwelling including demolition of a garage at Fair Havens, Mill Street, Crediton.
The Principal Planning Officer outlined the contents of the report by way of a presentation highlighting the different aspects of the application including the site location, landscaping, block plans, elevations and floor plans. The presentation included details of the permitted and the extant scheme.
