PLANNING COMMITTEE

DRAFT Minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on Tuesday 25^th May 2010 in the Richard Mabey Room Buckland Monachorum Village Hall at 7pm.

Present: Mr P Wing (Chairman), Mr D Butland, Mrs C Newberry, Mrs S Challiss, Mrs S Britton, Mrs C Allan,        Mr R White and Mrs E Simkins (Clerk).

Also present, 26 members of the public mainly from Crapstone and a representative of the applicant for the expansion of Yelverton Business Park. 

 

The Chairman invited the members of the public to make their representations.  The residents expressed concern about the outline planning application 00396/2010 for an extension to the existing Yelverton Business Park.  The main objection was that Crapstone is a settlement with no infrastructure to support this kind of development.  It was considered that the reports and surveys undertaken did not justify the claim that the expansion would provide much needed local employment; it was also considered that the commercial viability of the scheme was not proven.  The kind of units being considered were already present in the existing business park and some of the units remain empty. The site is located in an area designated as an AONB, and adjacent to the National Park, and it was considered that this should be protected. It was also considered that the Planning Office should be asked to review the proposals using the new Tool Kit Policy introduced under the Local Development Framework Core Strategy.  (The Toolkit is designed to help local planning authorities, communities, local partnerships and public service providers work together to identify local issues and development needs which are unique to individual settlements). The Chairman responded that the Parish Council was currently considering the feasability of creating a Parish Plan for each village within the Parish. A representative for the Developer reported that the current application represented a 50% reduction on the original application which had been withdrawn. He also reminded the meeting that the application was for an extension to an already existing and working business park. He also reported that several of the exisitng businesses on the site had expressed an interest in expanding their businesses.  West Devon Borough Council had been consulted on the application. In answer to a question from a resident about whether a survey had been carried out on the kind of workforce available locally to sustain the expansion, and local employment needs, he replied he was not sure if results of a survey were available. Enquiries had led the Developer to employers who would bring employees with them.

1. Apologies. Mr R Cheadle.

WDBC.     

00396/2010. Land adjacent to Yelverton Business Park.

The local need for the expansion was not proven and it was considered that the village of Crapstone did not have the infrastructure to support the proposal. This was carried by a vote of 6 in favour and 1 abstention.

4. Correspondence & Planning Matters.

a). WDBC application 13262/09. Land east of Yelverton Business Park. Application has been withdrawn.  

Information received from Councillor Sanders and the Planning Office indicates that the applicant withdrew in order to undertake further work in relation to highways, ecology and need. The application would be re-submitted with these matters were resolved.

The Council came out of committee at 8pm and invited Mrs Woollacott to make her representation on the Abbey Lane Development.  The meeting resumed at 8.06pm.

b). Abbey Lane Development:  The Parish Council raised concerns about pedestrian safety with WDBC on learning that an additional entrance had been created from the Abbey Lane into the new housing estate. An enquiry was made as to whether there were plans to create a pavement.  The Planning Office has reported back via Councillor Sanders that the additional opening is to act as a refuse collection point for the new estate.  The estate road is not adopted and the refuse lorry will not go down it. It was not intended for use as an exit route for pedestrians. Following discussion it was agreed to reply that this response does not satisfy the enquiry. The Parish Council is concerned that children from the estate will emerge from the opening onto the busy main road to reach the bus stop already used by children from the Wimpey Estate and MOD Estate. It is nearer than walking up to the bus stop by the Yelverton Business Park via the estate road. It is also considered that a large refuse lorry positioned in the road near to the bend will create an additional hazard to vehicles. The Parish Council would like to know why the new estate road is not being adopted.

c) Further discussion took place on the allocation procedure for the 12 new houses. There is no substance to rumours that the houses are predominantly being allocated to families outside of the Parish. The current position is that there are 10 nominations and 2 to be finalised soon.  10 have a connection to Buckland Monachorum and 2 have a connection to Horrabridge.

Present: Mr P Wing (Chairman), Mrs S Challiss, Mrs S Britton, Mr R Cheadle and Mrs E Simkins (Clerk).

1. Apologies. Mrs Allan, Mr Simkins and Mr Butland.

2.Planning Applications.

WDBC

13105/2009. 3 Winsbeer Cottages, Buckland Monachorum. Two-storey extension to the rear of dwelling to form larger kitchen and utility                    and en-suite bedroom. Erection of new detached double garage. It was agreed to submit a neutral view to the application.

13107/2009. 47 Chapel Meadow, Buckland Monachorum. Single storey extension to rear of the dwelling to create a family room. It was               agreed to submit a neutral view to the application.

13113/2009. Bruyere, 2 Moorland Court, Yelverton. Erection of new bungalow to replace existing double garage/store in the garden of                  Bruyere. Following discussion it was agreed to object to the proposal as inappropriate in this location of single dwellings set in large gardens in an area of outstanding natural beauty.  It was considered that the siting of a new dwelling in the garden of 2 Moorland Court would be unnecessary  development and detrimental to the character and appearance of the estate.

13131/2009. Woodhey, The Crescent, Crapstone. Retrospective application for erection of a single storey one vehicle garage. It was                  agreed to submit a neutral view to the application.

1351/2009. Conifers Crapstone. Erection of dwelling. Re-roofing of existing garage and extension to form carport. (Previously approved             outline planning). It was agreed to submit a neutral comment to the application due to it having already received outline planning permission. However, the Members continue to express concern to WDBC over the amount of development being considered for Crapstone and the          nearby area with no plans to improve the infrastructure.

DNPA

0333/09. Station Cottage, Station Road, Yelverton. Change of use of existing swimming pool into two holiday cottages. It was agreed to                      submit the following comment: The Parish Council objected to the original application for change of use of the swimming pool to a                commercial enterprise due to the inappropriate location for a business. The Members consider that the location is also unsuitable for                 change of use to a holiday homes business as set out in the current application.  It is unjustified development and detrimental to the                character and residential status of this part of the Dartmoor National Park and contravenes Policy TM7. It is considered that if the pool                cannot be utilised under the original conditions approved by DNPA then the site should be returned to its original state, which was a               Greenfield site.

0349/09. Kingstone, Elfordtown, Yelverton. Replace existing double garage with an oak-framed carport. It was agreed to make no                                comment or objection.

4. Correspondence & Planning Matters.

a). Observations on the extract from the WDBC Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2009.

Following discussion it was agreed to submit a response to WDBC about the concerns Members have over the proposed development.  The         Parish Council is growing increasingly concerned about the over-development of Crapstone. Routinely we see applications for new dwellings in            gardens and outline proposals to develop Crapstone further to meet housing targets. Of all the villages in the Parish, Crapstone is the least well              placed in terms of amenities (no school, no church, no public house, no village hall, poor transport links, only one shop etc). The obvious location                   for development within the Parish is Yelverton, which has the most of such amenities. We therefore urge WDBC to halt the totally inappropriate       development in Crapstone until and unless adequate services are in place, and liaise with DNPA to place development in the one location, which                can readily accommodate it.

The meeting closed at 8.30 pm.

Following discussion it was agreed to make the following response to the Strategic Policy Statement 2 ‘Decentralised Renewable Low Carbon Energy to Supply New Developments’. The Members consider that the stated figure of 10% is inadequate and at odds with the Borough’s sustainability objectives as set out in the rest of the document.

c). West Devon Borough Council has made pre-consultation contact about the naming of a new development at in the field near Cuxton Farm. Mr Butland declared an interest and withdrew from discussion. Four names are being considered: Butland’s Court, Butland’s Green, Butland’s Drive and Cuxton View. It was considered that the names Butland’s Court and Butland’s Drive were inappropriate for a rural area – sounding too Urban. Butland’s Green was a type of name usually associated with common ground or public space. Cuxton View could be muddled with the adjacent estate Cuxton Meadows. It was suggested that Butland Meadow would be more appropriate name.
