Update from the Development Manager

Minutes:

The Committee noted the Development Manager’s report setting out 12 appeal decisions notified and was pleased to note that 10 had been dismissed with only 2 allowed. 

 

Members attention was drawn to the two appeal allowed.  The Development Manager advised of the decision for planning application 19/1839/FUL – Sunbeams, Rhode Lane, Uplyme, Lyme Regis.  The Inspector determined the proposed development would not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area nor would it have a harmful impact to the AONB and had allowed the appeal.  The second appeal allowed related to planning application 19/0203/FUL – St Saviours, 12 Morton Road, Exmouth.  Members refused planning permission on the grounds of harm to the local area and amenity of nearby residents but the Inspector determined that the change of use was acceptable.

 

The Development Manager was pleased to report that for planning application 18/2376/MFUL – Land North Of Kingsholme And West Of Coly Road, Colyford the Inspector had agreed with concerns which related to the impact on the Green Wedge, the impact on ecology, poor design and layout and as a result had dismissed the appeal.
