Philip Shaw spoke on the previously failed planning applications, and the unsuitable access and high density.  The approaching narrow road with a blind bend was also unsafe.

 

Catherine Knee of Collier Planning spoke on behalf of the developer outlining the suitability of the site and Devon County Council had confirmed that there was capacity for development in the local primary school advising that financial contributions would be made towards secondary provision.

 

Cllr Pullman, representing West Hill Parish Council, advised that the site was outside the Built Up Area Boundary (BUAB) and did not have supporting infrastructure, limited facilities nearby, and being unsustainable.

 

Ward Member Cllr J Bailey felt the allocation was inconsistent with the spatial strategy and the tier 4 settlement. She was opposed to allocating the site.

Cllr Pullman, representing West Hill Parish Council, advised the site was outside the BUAB, with safety risks for those walking to school and the excessive distance to a bus stop.

 

Ward Member Cllr J Bailey felt the site was not sustainable, had a detrimental impact and did not comply with the spatial strategy.
