Issue - meetings

Brcl_31a and Brcl_31b Land at Mosshayne Lane, Pinhoe
Proposed use: Housing

Number of dwellings: 1000

Officer recommendation: Not to allocate

Nicola Sully of Pearce Planning, representing the developer promoting the site, outlined the benefits of allocating the site. This included opening up access to the Clyst Valley Park, providing affordable housing and additional facilities.  Discussions were underway with Devon County Council on reaching agreement on a suitable access.

Angie Hurren, Clerk to Broadclyst Parish Council, told the committee that the site was not sustainable and did not provide new facilities.  Any access to the site at the western corner was not desirable, and the impact on existing infrastruture was too adverse to support.

The Chair commented that there was no evidence at that time to support securement of an acceptable access to the site.

Committee agreed to move on to the next site allocation
