Slade Barton, Payhembury, Honiton, EX14 3HR.

Applicant:

Mr R Leach.

Location:

Slade Barton, Payhembury, Honiton, EX14 3HR.

Proposal:

Outline planning application with all matters reserved for redevelopment of the existing farmyard and business units to provide: up to 9 dwellings, 480 sq. metres B1(a) and B2 floor space and farm office, meeting room, workshop and garage; village car park and parking for existing dwellings; and associated infrastructure.

RESOLVED:

Approved contrary to Officer recommendation subject to S.106 agreement to secure a financial contribution towards off-site affordable housing and subject to conditions. Conditions delegated to the Development Manager in consultation with the Ward Member.

Members considered that the benefits from the proposal in terms of the employment benefits, provision of local housing, tidying up a key site in the centre of the village, provision of car park and financial contribution towards affordable housing outweighed any harm from the proposal and lack of planning policy support to the development in principle.
